GCV160 Air Filter Tune UP Kit Fits for Honda GCV 160 GCV 170 GCV170 GCV190 GCV200 GC190 HRX217 HRN 216 HRR216 Lawn Mower Parts Replace 17211-Z8B-901 with 16952-Z8B-000 Fuel Filter

What It Is

This is a complete air filter and fuel filter tune-up kit for Honda GCV160, GCV170, GCV190, GCV200, and GC190 engines, commonly found on HRX217, HRN216, and HRR216 walk-behind mowers. It replaces OEM air filter part 17211-Z8B-901 and fuel filter 16952-Z8B-000, restoring engine airflow and fuel cleanliness.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check engine model: Works only with Honda GCV/GC series engines listed above. Not for GCV135, GCV160A (some variants), or other Honda engine families.
• Check mower deck size: Fits most 21-22 inch decks with these engines, but confirm your mower’s engine model number (stamped on valve cover or engine shroud).
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a non-OEM kit. It matches the OEM filter dimensions (air filter: ~5.5” x 4” x 1.5”; fuel filter: ~1.5” long, 1/4” barb), but foam density and sealing may vary.
• Measurement tip: Remove your old air filter and fuel filter, compare dimensions. The fuel filter must have 1/4” barbs to fit standard Honda fuel lines.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy (10-15 minutes). No tools for air filter; fuel filter requires needle-nose pliers for hose clamps.
• Quality: Users report the air filter’s foam is slightly less dense than OEM, but it seals fine and works for seasonal maintenance. Fuel filter is a basic inline type—functional but not premium.
• Common gotcha: The fuel filter is not pre-oiled. You must apply a light coat of SAE 30 oil to the foam air filter element before installation (squeeze out excess).
• Frequency: Replace air filter every 100 hours or annually; fuel filter every 2 seasons or if debris is visible.

Should You Buy It

Buy this kit if you want a low-cost, one-stop replacement for routine maintenance on a Honda GCV160-series mower and don’t mind a slightly less dense foam filter. It’s a solid budget choice for DIY owners who change filters regularly, but skip it if you need exact OEM fit and longer foam life—stick with Honda genuine parts.
