The Honda 16221-Z9L-000 Carburetor Gasket is a genuine OEM replacement designed for GCV170 and GCV200 vertical shaft engines, as well as HRN216 and HRX217 lawn mowers. As a direct Honda OEM component, this gasket is manufactured to the exact tolerances required for a proper seal between the carburetor and the engine. Confirm part number 16221-Z9L-000 against your unit's serial number before ordering, as Honda periodically supersedes parts at production breaks.
Key Features
- OEM Sealing Integrity — manufactured to Honda's exact thickness and material specifications, ensuring a fuel-tight seal at the carburetor-to-engine interface without trimming or shimming
- Direct OEM Replacement — sourced directly from Honda, this gasket installs as a drop-in replacement with no modification required to the carburetor or mating surface
- Broad Fitment — compatible with GCV170 and GCV200 vertical shaft engines, and the HRN216 and HRX217 lawn mowers; check your serial number against the fitment table to confirm the correct application
- Fuel Metering Accuracy — a failed or deteriorated carburetor gasket allows unmetered air into the fuel circuit, causing rough running, hard starting, and lean-condition damage; replacing it restores the correct air-fuel balance
The carburetor gasket forms an airtight seal between the carburetor body and the engine's intake port. Its job is to prevent unmetered air from entering the fuel circuit — even a small leak at this joint disrupts the air-to-fuel ratio the carburetor is calibrated to deliver, leading to lean running, erratic idle, hard starting, or engine stall under load. When this gasket deteriorates, shrinks, or tears, no amount of carburetor adjustment will correct the resulting mixture error. Replacing it with a genuine Honda part restores the sealed interface the carburetor depends on to meter fuel correctly.
