The Honda 24178-VD6-851 Neutral Valve Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for Honda two-stage snow blowers, including the HS624, HS724, HS828, HS928, HS1132, and HS1332. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring the neutral valve in your machine functions exactly as intended. Verify your snow blower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks and the correct spring may vary by production range.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this spring matches the original specification for correct valve tension and engagement feel in the neutral control circuit.
- Correct Return Force — the spring delivers the precise load needed to return the neutral valve reliably, preventing the drive system from creeping or failing to disengage cleanly.
- Broad Two-Stage Fitment — covers Honda HS624, HS724, HS828, HS928, HS1132, and HS1332 two-stage snow blowers; check your serial number against the fitment table to confirm the right part for your unit.
- Like-for-Like Replacement — replaces the worn or broken original with no adjustment needed, restoring neutral valve operation to as-built condition.
The neutral valve spring is a small but essential component in a two-stage snow blower's drive control system. It provides the return tension that holds the neutral valve in position and snaps it back when the operator releases the drive engagement control, ensuring the auger and drive circuits disengage promptly and predictably. When this spring weakens, breaks, or loses tension, the neutral valve may not return fully, causing the drive to creep, engage sluggishly, or behave unpredictably — conditions that make the machine difficult to control, especially on slopes or in heavy snow.
