What It Is

This is an OEM Honda air filter kit designed for GCV160, GCV190, GC190, GC160, and GX100 engines. It replaces the 17211-ZL8-003 and 17211-Z8B-901 filters. Common on Honda HRC216, HRR216, HRR2169VKA, and HRX217 mowers. Keeps debris out of the carburetor; essential for tune-ups.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engine check first: This kit fits Honda GCV160, GCV190, GC190, GC160, and GX100 engines. Verify your engine model on the valve cover or shroud. Not for GCV135 or GCV200.
• Mower models: Works with HRC216, HRR216 (all variants), HRR2169VKA, HRX217. Confirm your mower’s engine, not just the deck size.
• OEM part: This is a genuine Honda filter, not aftermarket. Measurements are identical to factory: pre-oiled foam pre-filter + paper main filter.
• Cross-references: Replaces 17211-ZL8-003, 17211-Z8B-901. Also compatible with 17211-ZL8-010 (same design, newer packaging).

Key Things to Know

• Easy install, but don’t over-oil: The foam pre-filter comes pre-oiled. Squeeze out excess oil before installing to avoid drawing oil into the carburetor.
• No tools needed: Remove the air filter cover (two clips), swap both filters, reattach. Takes 2 minutes.
• Check condition annually: Replace every 100 hours or once a season, sooner if you mow in dusty conditions. A dirty filter causes hard starts and poor power.
• Only 3 reviews at 3.5/5: Low sample size. The few complaints likely come from users who didn’t match engine model exactly or over-oiled the foam.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a Honda GCV160/190/GC160/190 or GX100 engine and want a genuine OEM filter that fits perfectly. It’s a simple, reliable tune-up part for a fair price. Skip it if your engine model isn’t listed—aftermarket universal filters are cheaper but may not seal as well.
