The Honda 16166-ZH8-W00 Main Carburetor Nozzle is a genuine OEM component designed for GX160 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the exact tolerances required for correct fuel metering in the carburetor. This nozzle is the right choice for any rebuild or carburetor service on a GX160, and carrying part number 16166-ZH8-W00 ensures you are fitting the precise nozzle Honda specifies for that application.
Key Features
- Exact Fuel Metering — as a genuine OEM nozzle, this part is produced to the precise orifice size Honda specifies for the GX160 carburetor, ensuring the correct air-fuel ratio under all operating conditions
- Direct OEM Replacement — drops into the carburetor without modification, restoring the fuel circuit to its original configuration
- GX160 Fitment — built specifically for GX160 horizontal shaft engines; verify your engine's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct nozzle for your unit
- Smooth Power Delivery — a worn or partially blocked main nozzle causes lean running, rough idle, and power loss; replacing it with this OEM part restores crisp throttle response and steady engine output
The main carburetor nozzle is the precision passage through which fuel is drawn from the float bowl and mixed with incoming air before entering the engine. Its orifice size is calibrated to deliver exactly the right fuel volume across the carburetor's operating range — from idle to full throttle. When the nozzle becomes clogged with varnish deposits or worn beyond its original dimensions, the engine runs lean, surges, or refuses to maintain a steady speed under load.
