17211-ZL8-023 Air Filter Compatible for Honda GCV160 GCV190 GC190 GC160 HRX217 HRX217VKA HRR216 HRR216VKA Husqvarna HU700F 7021P HU700H TB130 Lawn Mower Air Cleaner Element - 2 Pack

What It Is

This is a replacement air filter element (2-pack) designed for Honda GCV160, GCV190, GC160, and GC190 engines, commonly found on Honda HRX217, HRR216 walk-behind mowers, and select Husqvarna HU700F, 7021P, HU700H, and TB130 models. It traps dirt and debris before they enter the carburetor, protecting engine performance and longevity.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engine check: Must be a Honda GCV160, GCV190, GC160, or GC190 engine—verify the engine model number stamped on the valve cover or blower housing.
• Mower models: Fits Honda HRX217 (all variants like VKA, VLA), HRR216 (VKA, VYA), and Husqvarna HU700F, 7021P, HU700H, TB130. Not for other engine families (e.g., GXV).
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a non-OEM replacement. OEM Honda part number 17211-ZL8-023 is the reference. Aftermarket may vary slightly in foam density or fit.
• Measurements: Approx. 4.5 x 3.5 x 1.5 inches. Compare to your old filter—if it slides loosely or is too tight, return.
• Deck size irrelevant: Fitment depends on engine, not mower deck width.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy. Remove the air filter cover (usually a single thumb screw or clip), swap the old filter, and reinstall. No tools needed.
• Quality variance: 3.7-star rating suggests some users report slightly thinner foam or looser fit than OEM. Check seal—if gaps are visible, dirt can bypass.
• 2-pack value: At ~$5 per filter, it’s cheaper than buying singles. Replace every 25 hours or annually, whichever comes first.
• Common gotcha: Don’t over-oil if the filter is oiled foam—excess oil can foul the carburetor. This type is typically dry; confirm before use.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Honda GCV160/190 or compatible Husqvarna mower and want a budget-friendly 2-pack for routine maintenance, this is a decent choice. It’s fine for casual homeowners who change filters regularly, but if you demand exact OEM fit or run in heavy dust, spend a few dollars more for the genuine Honda part.
