GCV160 Air Filter Fuel Filter for Honda GCV 160 GCV 170 GCV170 GCV190 GCV200 GC190 HRX217 HRN 216 HRR216 Lawn Mower Tune Up Kit Replace 17211-Z8B-901

What It Is

This tune-up kit includes an air filter, fuel filter, and (typically) a spark plug for Honda GCV160, GCV170, GCV190, GCV200, and GC190 engines. Designed for routine maintenance on push mowers like the HRX217, HRN216, and HRR216 series, it keeps the engine running cleanly and reliably.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engines: Fits Honda GCV160, GCV170, GCV190, GCV200, and GC190. Also compatible with the GCV160A, GCV160LA, and similar variants.
• Mowers: HRX217, HRN216, HRR216, and many other Honda walk-behind models using these engines. Check your machine’s model number (e.g., HRX217VKA).
• OEM vs Aftermarket: This is an OEM Honda kit (part 17211-Z8B-901), so fit and quality match factory specs. Aftermarket alternatives may not seal as well.
• Measurements: Air filter is about 5.5” x 3.5” x 1.5”; fuel filter is small inline type (approx. 1” long). Spark plug gap (if included) should be set to 0.028–0.031” before installation.
• What to check: Verify your engine’s model and serial number on the valve cover or under the air filter housing. Also confirm your mower uses a standard 3/4” reach spark plug (e.g., NGK BPR6ES or equivalent).

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Genuine Honda filters fit snugly and filter better than cheap knockoffs. The foam pre-filter (if included) should be oiled lightly before use.
• Installation difficulty: Easy – swap the air filter (no tools), replace the fuel filter (pull hose clamps, note flow direction), and change the spark plug (5/8” socket). Total time ~15 minutes.
• Common gotchas: Don’t overtighten the spark plug – torque to 15-18 ft-lbs. The fuel filter arrow must point toward the carburetor. If your mower has a separate foam pre-filter, order that too (not always in kit).
• Frequency: Replace air filter every 100 hours or yearly; fuel filter every 2 years or if fuel looks dirty.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Honda GCV160–GC190 mower (especially HRX/HRN/HRR series) and want a fast, hassle-free tune-up with guaranteed fit, this kit is a no-brainer. It’s ideal for DIY maintenance – just confirm your engine model and you’re set for another season of clean starts.
