What It Is

This is the OEM Honda fuel and air filter assembly (part number 17211-Z8B-901) for GCV160, GCV170, GCV190, and GC190 series engines. It combines both filtration functions into one unit, replacing the separate fuel filter and air filter on compatible Honda walk-behind mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

Engine compatibility: Honda GCV160, GCV160LAO, GCV170, GCV170LA, GCV190, GCV190LA, GC190LA.
Mower models: HRC216, HRS216, HRR216, HRN216, HRX217 (and most Honda mowers using these engines).
What to check before buying: Confirm your engine’s model number (stamped on the engine shroud, not the deck). This is an OEM Honda part, so it matches the factory fit exactly. Measure the existing filter’s mounting hole spacing (approx. 2.5 inches center-to-center) and check that your mower uses the combined filter—some older models use separate fuel and air filters. Not compatible with GXV or other Honda engine series.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM Honda—exact fit, no trimming or adapters needed. Aftermarket knockoffs often leak or restrict airflow.
• Installation: Simple; remove old filter, disconnect fuel line, clip new one in, reconnect fuel line. No tools required.
• Common gotcha: The fuel line can be brittle on older mowers—replace it if cracked. Also, ensure the filter is seated fully in its bracket or vibration can loosen it.
• Maintenance interval: Replace every 100 hours or annually, whichever comes first. A clogged filter causes hard starting and poor performance.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Honda mower with a GCV160, GCV170, GCV190, or GC190 engine and need a direct OEM replacement, this is the right part. It’s priced fairly for genuine Honda quality, installation is straightforward, and it ensures your engine runs cleanly. Skip cheap aftermarket versions—they often don’t seal properly and can let debris into the carburetor.
