This problem was addressed by Honda Recall number: 23-287

Just a quick FYI - found a dealer who had 6 units and they were on sale $100 off!!! So I snagged one. Probably should of bought 2...

Currently have a 06 Honda HRX217HXA and was looking at replacing unit with same but just found out about Honda has discontinued sales in the USA. So now trying to find a gas powered unit with similar features like the rotorstop and the adjustable clip discharge chute. Does someone know of a...

What I would call the transmission cable(Honda calls it the change cable) end broke off the transmission lever on the transmission! So it appears that oblong piece that goes over the transmission lever is the weak link. Anything common to be aware of here or any type of mod to improve the life...

New rotorstop clutch is installed and it works great! Unfortunately two hours later what I would call the transmission cable(Honda calls it the change cable) end broke off the transmission lever! So I jerry-rigged it up so I could finish mowing without getting the unwanted extra exercise from...

Thank you for the link, I got all the parts needed ordered.

I noticed that my blade took a long time to spool up. So I pulled the plugwire and turned off the fuel so I could lay it on its side and hand turn the blade. With the clutch not engaged the blade turned fairly freely and when the clutch was engaged there was a metal scrapping noise. I have a...

Well filled the hole and the screw in now secured again. Time will tell if this is a long term fix, done with the saw far as a I know so will see what happens next spring when Firewood gathering starts up again.

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering what was behind the hole as I was thinking if there was a possibility of drilling and tapping the hole deeper to use a longer bolt. The case looks like it would become to thin after drilling for a helicoil or time sert type repair so I am thinking your...

Was servicing my saw and found that the upper screw for the bumper spike had come loose and egged out the screw hole, so it does not tighten down anymore. So anyone else found a fix for this other then replacing the whole crankcase?

Hi everyone, had this mower since new and its starting to have some problems. First off notice that the cage for the recoil is starting to get oily. Would this be the failure of the upper crank seal? If so can someone provide steps or a link to how to replace it.

Ok I received all my parts , the factory service manual & the new cable has improved the slow mower speed. It now travels at normal speed like it did when new but to achieve that I did have to use all the adjustment. So that would indicate the hydro drive is heading towards the end of its life...

Ok the shop repair manual arrived. Here are the torque pages where they indicate 36 - 43 FT LBS for that bolt.

Looking for some help diagnosing the drive on my 2006 Honda mower Model # HRX217HXA. The self propel does not travel as fast as it used to. I got out the repair manual and tried to adjust the drive cable per the instructions but would not adjust so it would start to move on the second speed...

When you try to make a turn to the right after reaching the end of the yard the mower just wants to go straight. If you lift the front and try to force it to the right the right rear wheel just skids as its locked up during that maneuver. No problem to the left, pulling the mower straight back...
