Panari 17231-Z0L-050 Cover 17211-ZL8-023 Air Filter For Honda GCV160 GCV190 GC135 GC160 GC190A GCV135 GCV160A GCV160LA GCV160LA0 GCV190LA Engine

What It Is

This is a Honda OEM air filter cover (Panari 17231-Z0L-050) and air filter element (17211-ZL8-023) set for Honda GCV, GC, and GCV160/190 series engines. It filters incoming air on push mowers, pressure washers, and small generators using these engines.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your engine model number (stamped on the blower housing or valve cover). This set fits:

• Engines: Honda GCV160, GCV190, GC135, GC160, GC190A, GCV135, GCV160A, GCV160LA, GCV160LA0, GCV190LA
• OEM part numbers: Cover is 17231-Z0L-050; filter is 17211-ZL8-023
• Measurements: Cover is roughly 4.5" x 3.5" x 1.5"; filter is foam type, about 3" x 2.5"
• Cross-check: Not compatible with GCV200, GXV series, or older Honda engines with round air filters. If your current cover has a different part number stamped inside, measure before ordering.

Key Things to Know

• Quality is genuine Honda OEM – not aftermarket. Expect exact fit and same foam density as original.
• Installation is tool-free – just unsnap the old cover, pull out the foam filter, press in the new one, and snap the cover back on. Takes under 2 minutes.
• Common gotcha: The foam filter must be lightly oiled (use foam filter oil, not engine oil) before installation. Running it dry lets dust through and reduces engine life.
• Check cover tabs – if the original cover’s plastic tabs are broken, this new cover solves that. If only the filter is dirty, you can buy just the filter (17211-ZL8-023) separately for less.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you have a GCV160/190 or GC135-190 engine and your air filter cover is cracked, missing a tab, or you want a complete fresh set. It’s a cheap, fast fix that keeps dirt out of the carburetor. Skip it if your cover is fine and you only need a new filter element.
