Genuine OEM Honda (HRX2173HYA) (HRX2173HZA) (HRX2173VKA) Walk-Behind Lawn Mower Engines Carburetor Assembly & MOUNTING GASKETS KIT

My Honda Lawn Mower (model # HRX217HZA) developed a rough idle at the end of its second year of use. The mower would run fine while cutting, but would alternately race then almost stall out when the engine was at idle. While the mower was sold to me with a six-year warranty, reading the fine print I discovered that the carburetor was specifically excluded from warranty coverage.Rather than bringing the mower to a Honda dealer, I decided to replace the carburetor myself. Fortunately, Amazon offered a carburetor replacement kit that included not just the carburetor, but the required gaskets as well. After viewing a couple of U-tube tutorials on how-to replace a carburetor on a Honda HRX217HZA mower, I successfully replaced the carburetor on my mower. The mower has performed perfectly since I replaced the carburetor.If you are comfortable working on small engines and have isolated the problem to the carburetor, then I recommend purchasing this carburetor replacement kit. The kit contains in a single box all of the parts needed for the carburetor replacement.

After several years, my HRX2173VKA mower ran erratically for RPM and was sometimes difficult to start. Then it failed to gain RPM and stalled easily/quickly. I bought a new carburetor instead of rebuilding the old one. It was easy to install - everything stacks on the two bolts. There were three gaskets (you reuse the one that faces the air cleaner). I did manipulate the auto-choke(??) between the carburetor and intake to get it working more freely - it is not included. Just take photos to get the sequence right if you need to. It cranked on the first pull and has for probably 20 more starts on two tanks of gas. Remember to buy a new sparkplug, since yours is toast if you have had these sorts of problems.

As shown in the picture. Individually wrapped in Honda packaging. Carb in one package and caskets in their own individual bags.There are cheaper alternatives but this is the real deal. Worked out of the box. No instructions so make sure you take pictures when you disassembled the old one if this is your first time doing this. Not hard to do and only takes 20min.Only 2 hex bolts and some disconnecting of linkages.

Great price. My first such attempt at replacing an engine part. Small black cap was cracked, but the old one easily replaced it. My mower runs clean and smooth now.

Very happy with the purchase. Worked straight out of the box, with no adjustment needed. My Mower now idles even in very low setting. Supplied only 3 gaskets, instead of 4. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars. Instead of paying 100$ to repair my Carburetor, I can get a new one for 40$

Arrived right on time! And it was easy to change. Took about 15 minutes and it worked with first pull!

Best Genuine OEM Honda carburetor HRX217.Very easy swapped out the old one with the new OEM HONDA carburetor,it starts right away with first pull,very impressive,highly recommend.

The carb fits, works, and is reasonably priced. However, the kit has one less gasket than you need. There is an oval shaped gasket on each side of the mounting bracket, but they only give you one oval gasket in the kit. I had to reuse an old gasket. In my opinion, a missing gasket in a carb kit is a pretty big deal, so I'm docking them two stars for it.
