The Honda 16576-ZE7-300 Lever Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for GCV135, GCV160, GCV170, GCV190, GCV200, GSV190, and GXV160 vertical shaft engines, as well as HRB216, HRB217, HRC216, HRN216, HRR216, HRS216, HRT216, HRX217, and HRZ216 lawn mowers. Sourced directly from Honda, this spring carries the exact tension specification needed to keep the throttle or control lever returning consistently and responding correctly. When the original spring stretches, weakens, or breaks, the lever loses its return force — this genuine replacement restores proper control behavior quickly and cleanly.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — manufactured to Honda's exact tension specification, ensuring the lever returns with the correct force every time, unlike stretched or fatigued aftermarket substitutes.
- Correct Return Force — a lever spring that is weak or broken prevents the throttle or control lever from returning to its rest position reliably, affecting throttle response and operator control; this part restores that response directly.
- Broad Vertical-Engine Fitment — covers GCV135, GCV160, GCV170, GCV190, GCV200, GSV190, and GXV160 engines, as well as HRB216, HRB217, HRC216, HRN216, HRR216, HRS216, HRT216, HRX217, and HRZ216 lawn mowers.
- Check Your Serial Number — Honda updates parts at production breaks, so verify your machine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to confirm this is the correct spring for your unit.
The lever spring provides the return tension that pulls a throttle or control lever back to its default position after the operator releases pressure. Without adequate spring force, the lever may stick, lag, or fail to return fully, leaving the engine running at an unintended speed or keeping a blade-engagement control partially engaged. On walk-behind mowers and vertical-shaft engines alike, replacing a fatigued or broken lever spring is a straightforward service step that restores crisp, predictable lever action.
