What It Is

This is a 2-pack replacement air and fuel filter set designed for Honda GCV160, GCV170, GCV190, GCV200, GC160, and GC190 engines. It’s commonly used on Honda HRX217, HRN216, and HRR216 walk-behind lawn mowers, as well as many pressure washers, generators, and small equipment powered by these engines.

Fitment & Compatibility

• OEM cross-reference: Air filter 17211-Z8B-901, Fuel filter 16952-Z8B-000. These are direct replacements for Honda genuine parts.
• Engine families: GCV160, GCV170, GCV190, GCV200, GC160, GC190 (not for GCV135 or GCV530).
• Common mower models: HRX217 (all variants), HRN216, HRR216, HRX217HYA, HRX217HZA, HRX217K4, HRX217VKA. Also fits many Honda pressure washers like EU2000i, EU2200i, and generators.
• What to check: Measure your existing air filter – it should be roughly 5.5” x 3.5” x 1.5” with a rectangular foam pre-filter. The fuel filter is a small in-line plastic type (about 1.5” long). If your engine uses a different air filter shape (e.g., round or smaller), this won’t fit.
• Aftermarket vs OEM: This is an aftermarket set, not Honda-branded, but uses the same dimensions and materials.

Key Things to Know

• Installation is simple: No tools required for the air filter (just remove the cover, swap the foam and paper filter). The fuel filter requires pulling the fuel line off the old filter and pushing it onto the new one – clamp the line with pliers first to avoid fuel spillage.
• Quality is solid: Users report identical fit and performance to OEM for about half the price. The foam pre-filter may be slightly less dense than Honda’s, but still effective.
• Common gotcha: The fuel filter has arrow direction marked – install it pointing toward the carburetor (fuel flow direction). Reversing it can cause starting issues.
• Maintenance interval: Replace both filters annually or every 100 hours of use, whichever comes first. Change the air filter more often in dusty conditions.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Honda GCV160/190-powered mower or small engine and want a reliable, low-cost replacement for routine maintenance, this is a smart buy. It’s ideal for DIY homeowners who change their own filters and prefer a 2-pack over buying OEM separately. Not for professional landscapers who require exact OEM parts for warranty or heavy daily use.
