What It Is

This kit includes an air filter, foam pre-filter, cleaner cover, spark plug, and fuel filter for Honda GCV160, GCV190, GC160, and GC190 engines found on HRX217, HRB216, and HRR216 lawn mowers. It’s a complete tune-up set for routine maintenance.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engine models: Honda GCV160, GCV190, GC160, GC190 – verify your engine’s model number on the valve cover or shroud.
• Mower models: HRX217, HRB216, HRR216 series – also fits many Honda walk-behind mowers with these engines.
• Part numbers: Replaces OEM 17211-ZL8-000, 17211-ZL8-003, 17211-ZL8-023 (air filter), and 17231-Z0L-050 (cover). Spark plug and fuel filter are generic equivalents.
• Measurements: Air filter is approximately 3.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 inches; cover is about 4 x 3 inches. Confirm your existing parts match these dimensions.
• Check: Remove your old air filter and cover to compare shape and mounting tabs. This kit does not fit GXV engines or non-Honda brands.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Air filter and cover are OEM-spec; spark plug and fuel filter are aftermarket but functional for standard maintenance.
• Installation: Easy – remove old cover, swap filter, replace cover. Spark plug requires a 5/8-inch socket; fuel filter requires hose clamp pliers.
• Gotcha: The foam pre-filter must be oiled lightly before installation (use foam filter oil, not engine oil). The plastic cover tabs are brittle – don’t overtighten.
• Combo value: Buying this kit is cheaper than purchasing each part separately, but the spark plug and fuel filter may not last as long as genuine Honda parts.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Honda GCV/GC series mower and need a quick, affordable tune-up kit, this is a solid choice. It’s ideal for DIYers who want one order instead of multiple parts. Skip it if you prefer all OEM components, especially for the spark plug and fuel filter.
