What It Is

This is a genuine Honda air filter kit (part 17211-ZL8-023) that includes the air filter and cover, plus a separate fuel filter (16952-Z8B-000). It’s designed for Honda GCV160, GCV190, GC190, GC160, and GX100 engines commonly found on HRC216, HRR216, HRR2169VKA, and HRX217 lawn mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your engine model: Look for the stamped code on the engine shroud (e.g., GCV160, GCV190, GC190, GC160, GX100). This kit is not for GXV or other Honda engine families.
• Mower compatibility: Fits HRC216, HRR216, HRR2169VKA, HRX217, and similar Honda mowers with those engines. Verify your mower’s model number on the deck or under the seat.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is genuine Honda, so dimensions and seal fit are exact. Aftermarket filters may be slightly smaller and cause air leaks.
• Measurements: Air filter cover is ~4.5 x 3.5 x 1.5 inches. Fuel filter is standard 1/4-inch barb fitting. No modification needed.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Genuine Honda foam filter material; aftermarket copies often use cheaper foam that degrades faster or doesn’t seal properly.
• Installation difficulty: Very easy – remove two screws, swap the filter and cover, replace fuel filter in line (pinch hose clamps, swap, reclamp). Takes 5 minutes.
• Common gotcha: The fuel filter is directional – arrow on the filter must point toward the carburetor. Installing backward restricts fuel flow.
• Maintenance tip: Clean the foam filter with soapy water every 25 hours; replace every 100 hours or annually. Fuel filter replace every 2 seasons.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Honda GCV160/190/GC160/GC190/GX100 mower and want a guaranteed fit and OEM reliability, this kit is a no-brainer at $12.34. It’s perfect for DIY maintenance – just confirm your engine model first. Avoid if you have a different engine family or want a cheaper aftermarket option.
