What It Is

The 17910-VA3-S01 is a genuine Honda throttle cable that controls engine speed on select Honda walk-behind mowers. It replaces the OEM 17910-VA3-003 and is designed for HR214, HR194, HR215, and HR216 series models.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact fit models: Honda HR214 (SX, K1 variants), HR194, HR215, HR215K1, HR216.
• Cross-reference: Also fits GH45843 and 3468T34562FD215213.
• What to check before buying: Measure the cable length (approx. 36–38 inches end-to-end) and verify the cable end fitting style matches your mower’s throttle lever. This cable uses a barrel-style end at the control handle and a loop end at the carburetor. Confirm your mower uses the same attachment points—older HR214 models may have slight variations.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a genuine Honda part, not a third-party copy, so it guarantees correct fitment and material quality.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Genuine Honda cable with metal ends and a durable plastic sheath—holds up better than cheap replacements that kink or snap.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need basic tools (screwdriver, pliers) and about 20–30 minutes. Routing the cable correctly around the engine and handlebar is the trickiest part.
• Common gotcha: The cable may feel stiff out of the box—work it back and forth a few times before final installation to loosen it. Also, check that the cable doesn’t rub against the mower deck or engine shroud, which can cause premature wear.
• Replacement interval: Replace only when the cable is frayed, binding, or the mower won’t hold a steady idle or full throttle. No need to swap it as preventive maintenance.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible Honda HR214, HR194, HR215, or HR216 and need a reliable throttle cable that fits without modification, this is the right pick. It’s a genuine OEM part at a fair price, and the 3.8/5 rating reflects good value despite some minor installation hassle. Avoid it if you’re looking for a universal cable or if your mower uses a different cable end style.
