Carb for HRX217K6HZA

[monkman CoMo]

I need a replacement carb for my Honda mower. It is one of the newer GCV200 engines. I found 2 part numbers and not sure which one to order. The options are:

1. 16100-Z9M-811 (BB76G A)
2. 16100-Z9M-J61 (BB76L A)

I have no idea what the difference is, but want to get the correct one.

Any help would be great appreciated!

Here is what you can do. Provide me the Model number and VIN of your Lawn mower.

Here's the deal if the VIN is:

MAMA-1000001-1158895 -> 16100-Z9M-811
MAMA-1158896-9999999 -> 16100-Z9M-J61

Hi Chris,

Thank you for the quick response. I am at work right now but will reply with the VIN when I get home tonight. What is the difference between the 2 carbs?

Be safe!

I do not know what the differences are. I'm good but not that good. If you need to be that granular, you can always call Honda Power Equipment headquarters in Atlanta and ask to speak to a Engineer per the differences.

LOL! And wait on hold for 2 hours, no thanks. It's weird that for an engine that isn't that old that they have 2 different carbs. Thanks again for your help!

Not really
A problem that was not apparent when testing was done appears when the engines ae used so a new one is designed.
The manufacturer of the early one could not keep up supply
Lots of reasons to have more than one carb
L while back the Californian engines had a better, ( much more expensive ) carb than the rest of the USA, or the world for that matter.

VIN MAMA-1139696 so the 811 it is. Anything I need to watch out for swapping this?

Thanks once again for all of the help!

Can I ask you this (I didn't ask this before), how did you determine that the Carburetor is faulty?

Classic surge, won't idle. Doing this for my daughter's boyfriend, he bought the mower last season, put it away without draining the fuel or using sta-bil. I'm sure the inside is totally gacked and sounds like it's cheaper and easier just to replace the carb. Small engine carbs are so cheap now, doesn't make sense to mess with them.

Cheers, be safe everyone!
