The Honda 17228-ZL8-000 Air Cleaner Gasket is a genuine OEM replacement designed for GC135, GC160, and GC190 horizontal shaft engines, EN2000 and EN2500 generators, FG400 and FG500 tillers, and WN20 and WN30 water pumps. As a direct Honda OEM part, this gasket is manufactured to the exact specifications Honda requires at the air cleaner interface. Confirm your unit's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks across this broad range of equipment.
Key Features
- OEM Air Seal Integrity — manufactured by Honda to deliver an airtight seal at the air cleaner housing, ensuring the correct air-to-fuel ratio reaches the engine without unfiltered air bypassing the element
- Broad Cross-Equipment Fitment — covers GC135, GC160, and GC190 horizontal shaft engines, EN2000 and EN2500 generators, FG400 and FG500 tillers, and WN20 and WN30 water pumps, including a wide range of production runs
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates parts at production breakpoints across this equipment range, so always check your serial number against the compatibility table before ordering
- Restores Clean Engine Breathing — a degraded or missing air cleaner gasket allows unfiltered air into the intake, leading to accelerated wear and erratic performance; this replacement brings the seal back to spec
The air cleaner gasket forms a sealing interface between the air cleaner housing and the carburetor or intake tract, keeping the air path fully sealed so that only filtered air enters the engine. Without a sound gasket, dust and debris can bypass the air filter element entirely, causing rapid wear to internal engine components and disrupting the fuel mixture. When this gasket hardens, tears, or compresses beyond its serviceable thickness, replacing it promptly protects both engine performance and service life across the equipment it serves.
