HIPA HRX217 Air Filter for Honda GCV160 HRX 217 HRR216 HRC216 HRT216 HRB216 HRS216 HRB217 HRZ216 Walk-Behind Lawn Mower Engine 2Pack

What It Is

This is a replacement air filter set (2-pack) for Honda GCV160 engines used on walk-behind mowers. It keeps dirt and debris out of the carburetor, ensuring clean airflow for proper combustion and engine longevity.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s engine is a Honda GCV160 (check the engine shroud for model stamp). This filter fits Honda push mowers in the HRX217, HRR216, HRC216, HRT216, HRB216, HRS216, HRB217, and HRZ216 series. It is not compatible with GCV190, GCV200, or other engine sizes. The filter measures roughly 5.5 x 4 x 1.5 inches; measure your old filter if unsure. This is an aftermarket part, not OEM Honda, but matches OEM part number 17211-Z0J-000. Check your mower’s air filter housing for any damage or missing clips before installing.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM: Users report this filter fits well and filters adequately for residential use, though OEM Honda filters may last slightly longer under heavy dust conditions.
• Installation is easy: No tools needed—just open the filter cover, swap the old filter, and close. Takes under 2 minutes.
• Common gotcha: Some mowers have a foam pre-filter that must be cleaned/replaced separately; this pack does not include that foam layer.
• Price advantage: At ~$3.80 per filter, it’s roughly half the cost of a single OEM filter, making it a solid value for regular maintenance.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Honda GCV160-powered mower and want an affordable, reliable air filter that’s easy to swap yourself. It’s ideal for routine seasonal replacements (every 25 hours or yearly) without paying OEM prices. Avoid if you need the foam pre-filter or prefer guaranteed OEM fitment for commercial use.
