The Honda 61216-8A4-N00 Latch Spring is a genuine OEM Latch Spring designed for HRC216, HRN216, and HRX217 lawn mowers. As a factory-sourced component, this part is manufactured to the exact specification Honda used when the mower left the production line, ensuring it functions the same way as the original. This spring is the correct OEM replacement for all listed models — confirm your mower's model and serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda does supersede parts at serial breaks.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Tensioning — sourced directly from Honda, this spring delivers the correct load and return force the latch mechanism depends on, keeping engagement crisp and consistent across the mower's service life.
- Direct OEM Replacement — engineered to Honda's original dimensions, this part installs without modification as a drop-in replacement for the original spring.
- Broad Mower Coverage — fits the HRC216, HRN216, and HRX217 walk-behind gas lawn mower lines, including both commercial and residential variants within those families.
- Check Your Serial Number — Honda updates parts at serial production breaks; use your mower's serial number alongside the fitment table to confirm part number 61216-8A4-N00 is correct for your specific unit.
The latch spring provides the return tension that holds a latch, lever, or handle mechanism in its engaged or disengaged position on a walk-behind lawn mower. Without proper spring tension, the latch can fail to seat fully, slip out of position under load, or become difficult for the operator to actuate cleanly. A worn or broken spring typically results in a latch that feels loose, doesn't stay engaged, or requires excessive force to operate — replacing it restores the snappy, predictable action the mower's controls were designed to deliver.
