Honda Buffalo Classic HRU216M1 Questions & Answers
2 questions from our users
Abeasked
Hi, my Honda HRU216 throttle cable is kinking at the control lever, and so the mower does not turn off. It seems that there is a design problem because the cable routing has been changed and cable is passed through a drilled hole through the plastic cover (as an after thought) rather than the original slot. So my question is, have Honda modified the cable? If so could you please give me the part number?

Hi Abe
I'm not connected to Honda and don't know the part number. Google might help. Probably best to go to a Honda mower dealer and ask. I have had problems with the cable not being stiff enough (or its sticking somewhere) thus not turning off the motor on my last mower. I had it repaired but it started doing it again intermittently about a month after. As I didn't have time to muck around I just pushed the lever forward that the cable is attached to on the engine to stop if it didn't stop as it should have.
Hi, thanks for your reply. As the length of throttle cable is too long (after re-routing by Honda), Honda has to come up with a stiffer and slightly shorter replacement throttle cable. Thats why I did not take the mower to the repair shop, because as you mentioned the replaced part did not work for long and never will. In short Honda had a problem and tried to fix it cheeply by drilling a hole in plastic cover rather than redesigning a new cable suitable for the new path.
Sounds like a Bodge job at the shop all 216 throttle cables should be same length

Is it possible to make the mower self-propelled without the blade spinning since sometimes I need to move the heavy mower across places like driveway on a slope where is no grass to mow?
2 answers
Not sure what model your mower is but all mine are self propelled, and stop spinning as soon as I let go of the bar . I believe one model came out without this function.
My machine is HRU216M2, there is a blade clutch lever and a drive clutch lever.
