17211-ZL8-023 GCV160 Air Filter for Honda GCV190 GC190 GC160 GX100 Engine Compatible with HRC216 HRR216 HRT216 HRX217 Lawn Mower, with Spark Plug & Fuel Filter

What It Is

This is a three-piece engine maintenance kit for Honda small engines, combining a pre-filter, main air filter, spark plug, and fuel filter. Designed for GCV160, GCV190, GC190, GC160, and GX100 engines, it’s used on Honda push mowers like the HRC216, HRR216, HRT216, and HRX217 series.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check your engine’s model number (stamped on the engine shroud or valve cover) not the mower deck. This kit fits Honda GCV160, GCV190, GC190, GC160, and GX100 engines only. It will not fit GXV, GCV135, or larger GX engines. The air filter (OEM 17211-ZL8-023) is a direct replacement for the foam and paper element. The spark plug is a standard NGK BPR6ES or equivalent (check gap: 0.028–0.031 in). The fuel filter is a universal inline type—verify your fuel line inner diameter (typically 1/4 in) and hose condition before installing. No deck size or mower brand check needed if the engine matches.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: This is a genuine Honda kit, not an aftermarket set. Expect OE-grade filtration and plug life. The foam pre-filter is oiled from the factory—do not wash it with soap.
• Installation: Easy for DIYers. Air filter: remove wing nut, swap foam and paper, reinstall. Spark plug: use a 13/16 in socket, torque to 20 ft-lb. Fuel filter: note arrow direction (flow toward carburetor) and clamp hoses securely.
• Common gotchas: The spark plug may come pre-gapped, but always verify with a feeler gauge. The fuel filter’s barbed ends can be tight—use pliers gently to avoid cracking the plastic housing. Replace all three parts at the same interval (every 100 hours or annually) for consistent performance.
• Compatibility note: Some HRX217 models with GCV190 engines use a different spark plug gap—double-check your owner’s manual.

Should You Buy It

This kit is a smart pick if you have a Honda GCV160–GX100 engine and want a one-stop, OEM-quality maintenance set for under $10. It’s ideal for owners of HRC216, HRR216, HRT216, or HRX217 mowers who prefer genuine Honda parts over aftermarket bundles. Skip it if your engine is not listed, or if you already have separate filters and plugs.
