About to order parts and I see there are 3 part numbers for #15 gasket...
16221-ZG9-J60 SEE PART DETAILS - PRI; GASKET, CARBURETOR $0.98
16221-ZG9-T00 SEE PART DETAILS - PRI; GASKET, CARBURETOR $0.98
16221-ZH8-801 SEE PART DETAILS - PRI; GASKET, CARBURETOR $0.98

Not sure which one I need?

16221-ZH8-801 is the most current part number.

I will go with that then. Honestly I cant imagine how they could be that much different. Thank you for all the help!

Part numbers change when suppliers change, materials change, packaging changes, or the design team actually makes a "real" change to the part.

We're here if you have any more issues. Best of luck getting it running smoothly soon.

I got the parts in today and put the new carb and gaskets on along with a new air filter. It started right up and has a lot more power than before, I can now engage the blades instantly without the engine stalling like it had done for the past 8 years. Its hard to believe the carb was slowly robbing power for that many years. Last year I swore off ethanol after I found 2 gas stations somewhat close that sell non ethanol premium gas so that is all my small engines will run on from here on. I also see some local stores have the non ethanol gas in quart sized cans for a pretty penny if I ever had to resort to that. No more ethanol gas for my mowers though as I believe that is what caused my carb to slowly degrade over the years. I am very happy to have the Honda running like new again! :biggrin:
