What It Is

This is an OEM air filter (part #17211-Z8B-901) designed for Honda GCV160, GCV170, and GCV190 engine series, commonly found on Honda HRS216, HRT216, HRX217, and HRZ217 walk-behind mowers. It also includes a fuel filter and spark plug, making it a complete tune-up kit for seasonal maintenance.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine model (stamped on the blower housing or valve cover). This kit fits:

• Engines: GCV160, GCV160LA0, GCV170, GCV170LA, GCV190, GCV190LA
• Mowers: HRS216, HRT216, HRX217, HRZ217 (all variants)
• OEM vs Aftermarket: This is a genuine Honda part, not a generic. If your mower uses a different air filter (e.g., round foam type), this won’t fit.
• Measurements: Air filter dimensions are approximately 5.5" x 4" x 1.5". Fuel filter is inline, 1/4" hose barb. Spark plug is standard Honda (NGK BPR6ES or equivalent). No deck size check needed—engine model is what matters.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Genuine Honda paper element—better filtration and airflow than cheap aftermarket foams. Fuel filter has correct micron rating for Honda carburetors.
• Installation: Easy, no tools needed for air filter (snaps into housing). Fuel filter requires pulling fuel line and may need pliers. Spark plug requires a 5/8" socket and gap check (0.028-0.031").
• Common Gotchas: Don’t overtighten the spark plug (18 ft-lb max). The fuel filter has a directional arrow; install it pointing toward the carburetor. If your mower has an oil-foam pre-filter, this kit does not include it.
• Frequency: Replace air filter every 100 hours or annually. Fuel filter every 2 years. Spark plug every 2-3 seasons.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Honda GCV160/170/190 mower and want a one-stop tune-up without hunting for individual parts, this is the right choice. It’s priced fairly for OEM quality, and the included fuel filter and spark plug make it a no-brainer for annual maintenance. Skip it if you only need the air filter alone or have an older Honda with a different filter style.
