The Honda 17851-VA4-000 Throttle Lever is a genuine OEM replacement built for GXV140 vertical shaft engines and a wide range of Honda walk-behind lawn mowers, including HR194, HR195, HR214, HR215, HR216, HRA214, HRA215, HRA216, HRB215, HRC215, HRC216, HRM195, and HRM215 models. As a direct Honda OEM component, this throttle lever is manufactured to the same specification as the original part it replaces, ensuring a proper fit right out of the box. Honda supersedes parts across production runs, so confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to make sure part number 17851-VA4-000 is correct for your unit.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Throttle Control — sourced directly from Honda, this lever delivers the same positive engagement and return feel as the original, keeping throttle response consistent and predictable across the full rpm range.
- Broad Honda Mower Coverage — fits GXV140 vertical shaft engines and Honda HR, HRA, HRB, HRC, and HRM series walk-behind mowers, including HR194, HR195, HR214, HR215, HR216, HRA214, HRA215, HRA216, HRB215, HRC215, HRC216, HRM195, and HRM215.
- Check Your Serial Number — Honda updates parts at production breaks, so match your machine's serial number to the fitment table to confirm part number 17851-VA4-000 is the right throttle lever for your specific unit.
- Restore Smooth Speed Control — a worn or broken throttle lever causes imprecise engine speed control, making it difficult to maintain a consistent cut. Replacing it restores the crisp, responsive control the operator relies on.
The throttle lever is the hand-operated control that sets engine speed by positioning the throttle cable, which in turn opens or closes the carburetor's throttle valve. On Honda walk-behind mowers, this translates directly into blade tip speed and cutting power, so a lever that sticks, slips, or no longer holds its position robs the operator of consistent performance. When the lever wears or breaks, the engine may hunt, surge, or fail to hold a steady governed speed — replacing it with a genuine Honda part restores the precise mechanical connection between the operator's hand and the engine's fuel delivery.
