  • 30500-Z9L-004 — Honda HRX217K6 (VIN MAMA-1000001 through MAMA-9999999), VIN prefix MAMA

    Set the air gap to the figure in your engine manual after fitting.

    Independently re-confirmed on the standalone GCV200LA G5BR engine's own Flywheel diagram (identical number/description). A WebSearch of third-party OEM resellers (Amazon, eBay, PowerToolReplacementParts, Powered By Moyer) independently cross-lists 30500-Z9L-004 as fitting HRX217K6 HYA/HYAA/VKA/VKAA and GCV200LA G5B/G5BR/S3C/S3L by name (not just GCV170/HRN216). An older/alternate coil number also appears on both diagrams, but the two fetches disagreed on its trailing digits (30500-Z9V-003 vs 30500-Z9V-004) so it was deliberately not shipped - a human should view the diagram directly to settle the exact digits.

  • 98079-55846 — Honda HRX217K6 (all variants, VIN MAMA-1000001 through MAMA-9999999), VIN prefix MAMA

    NGK BPR5ES. Only the K6 generation (MAMA VINs) is covered here — an HRX217 with a MAGA VIN is a different generation and is not in the catalog yet.

    Independently re-confirmed on the standalone Honda GCV200LA G5BR engine's own Cylinder Head diagram (GJAVA-1000001-9999999 serial range, a separate Honda catalog tree from the mower-anchored one). GCV200 is confirmed as the engine fitted to HRX217K6VKA/HYA mowers via Honda's own product pages and multiple dealer listings (201cc, vs GCV170's 166cc), so this is an independent GCV200-specific citation, not an assumption carried over from GCV170/HRN216, even though the number happens to match.
