Found part on eReplacementParts.com at a fair price. Not sure if this part (16620-Z8D-842) will work with our lawn mower (HRN 216 VKA - GCV170) since it is not listed under compatible mowers. Part number was on a YouTube video. Have yet to replace thermo wax assy. since mower stopped surging after cleaning pilot jet on the carburetor. Sev eral YouTube videos show how to clean pilot jet and replace thermo wax assy. Purchased extras (thermo wax assy.) since it appears this part wears out after some time.
