Can anyone tell me why all Honda carbs are in the 30 dollar or less range except for the 16100-ZE9-L03 which is 152 dollars? and of course that's the one I need. That's more than what I payed for the mower. It shows it's an OEM part. Is there a aftermarket replacement? Thanks in advance.

I think the issue is his particular carb model seems unusually expensive compared to all the other OEM carbs. My guess is further shopping around he may find a more reasonable price. If not I’d try the clone for that price, nothing to loose.

I know this is a mower forum but i haven't had much luck elsewhere for a carb for a Honda G400 in a ES3500 generator? Anyone know where to look?

There three version of the ES3500 generator.
Well if it has a serial above 1050763 then you will have a hard time as Honda has NLA the carburetor. That is provide one of two versions. If you have the third version none of the carburetors are available from Honda.
Thank you StarTech I appreciate your responding. I have looked at forums, Honda and eBay, but have no luck. The previous owner says it is like a Mikuni. If the carb had not sat with water in it might be able to salvage, but it's pretty bad. I will check the serial # maybe find something I can adapt. I thank you for your time. Seems Honda is getting like Husqvarna with their parts, Planned Obsolete.

I think all the OEM are getting into the act lately. I had a two year Briggs engine in the back in the Summer that I could get any parts for. Briggs claim had sub contracted the engine out and that the manufacture went belly up.
You are right, I have been working on several Husqvara walk behind self propelled that wear out the drive bearing that is NLA. Some of these are about 4-5 years old. Had to go sideways with my search, but found the bearings.
I wonder if anything can be adapted to work? I have the original, but it was full of water and dirt. Kind of works, guy I got it from swears the carb is just like a Mikuni on motorcycles. I will look up those serial numbers on the unit. Thanks StarTech Sorry about the repeat seems my age is starting to show on memory.
