This is a replacement throttle control cable assembly for Honda HRR216, HRS216, HRT216, and HRZ216 series lawn mowers. It connects the throttle lever to the engine carburetor, letting you adjust engine speed.
Fitment & Compatibility
- Direct fit for: HRR216K2, HRR216K3, HRR216K4, HRR216K5, and all HRR216/HRS216/HRT216/HRZ216 models with the same cable routing.
- Check before buying: Verify your mower’s deck size (usually 21” or 22”) and model number suffix (e.g., HRR216K2). The cable length is approximately 38 inches; measure your old cable to confirm.
- OEM vs aftermarket: LEKORD is an aftermarket brand. Honda OEM part number is 17850-VG3-D01. Aftermarket may have slightly different plastic ends or adjuster; check that the cable housing ends match your mower’s throttle bracket and carburetor attachment.
- Not compatible with: HRX217, HRS216 (older models with different control layout), or any non-Honda brand mower.
Key Things to Know
- Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires removing the mower deck or control panel to access the old cable. Have a small screwdriver and pliers handy.
- Common gotcha: The cable end at the carburetor may need a small adjustment to the spring clip or throttle arm. If the throttle doesn’t snap back, the cable is likely routed incorrectly or binding.
- Quality note: Only 1 review (4.0/5) – limited feedback. Expect plastic components similar to OEM but may be less durable over time.
- Return policy: Since it’s a budget part, confirm the seller accepts returns if the cable length or ends don’t match your specific model.
Should You Buy It
Buy this if you have a Honda HRR216, HRS216, HRT216, or HRZ216 mower with a broken throttle cable and want a cheap, quick fix. It’s a direct fit for the listed models, but with only one review, you’re taking a small risk on longevity. If you need guaranteed OEM durability, spend more on the Honda branded cable.
