Honda HF2417 HME Ride On Mower

honda, hf2417, ride, mower

New for 2020, the Honda HF2417 HME Ride on Mower is the perfect machine for making small work of a large lawn. This Honda Premium lawn tractor, packed full of innovative features to give the user the best possible experience when cutting they’re lawn. With outstanding V-Twin engines, Versamow selective mulching, and tough bumper protection, this high spec sit on mower is built to last. The new Honda 2417 features a 40″ (102cm) cutting deck and is fitted with the Honda GCV530 engine with variable Hydrostatic Drive.

These lawn tractors are a collection of simple, innovative engineering ideas. But that’s not the only thing that makes them different and unquestionably the best. You’ll notice the difference as soon as you see the shiny red body finish. The way the panels fit, the seat material, the firm steering wheel and the way the hand controls feel in your hands – in fact, you might not be able to keep your hands off them. Built around a strong chassis, with a sturdy cast iron front axle and a strong low-maintenance V-twin engine, these machines have many other features that prove why a Honda is an excellent choice. Our Premium lawn tractor engines have a decompression system that makes the engine easier to turn over from start up. The ‘Pro’ spec engine has cast iron cylinder sleeves and crankshaft bearings for longer life, along with a larger air filter for improved performance. It’s the best 4-stroke you can ride. They’re both economical on fuel and have the lowest emissions in the industry.

Honda renowned ingenuity has developed a blade arrangement using the synchronous method. With the synchronised timing belt, it allows the blades to spin together constantly at a 90˚ opposed angle, providing a smooth and effective cut and collection. With a Honda Premium Lawn tractor, you’ll get much better cutting and mulching performance with this type of blade configuration. All you have to do is drive…The blades have seven different height settings from 30cm to 70cm and working inside one cutter deck, provide a much better airflow for gathering up the cuttings. This is essential for maintaining the high levels of collecting performance and at the same time, dramatically reducing any risk of clogging.

Synchronous Blades The HF2417 is fitted with a timing belt that maintains a synchronised 90° angle between the blades – the result; improved cutting with less uncut areas (even when turning), a smoother ride due to the reduction of vibrations and an optomised air flow, improving grass collection and mulching.

Roto-Stop /strong> All our ride-on mowers include the Roto-stop system (controlled via the yellow button), which allows you to stop the blades quickly and safely, without having to turn the engine off. Ideal when you need to empty the grass bag, clear debris, or traverse paths and driveways.

Optiflow Honda RD team has developed Optiflow, an advanced grass collection system which reduces power loss and the accumulation of dust by combining powerful suction and a constant flow of air, to completely fill the grass bag.

Versamow /strong> The HF2417 has Honda’s Versamow selective mulching. With a single lever, the machine will either collect grass cutting into the bag or finely shred and blow them into the lawn for natural fertiliser.

In the event of any warranty issues that may arise, it is the responsibility of the customer to return the item to Robert Kee Sons.

Try The Gas Shot

Your engine needs fuel, spark, and compression to start. Fuel, Spark, and Compression are broader areas than their title suggests. Testing will take into account the complete system, for example, fueling is more than just the gas, it includes carburetor, tank, air and fuel filters, gas line, intake manifold, etc.

The most likely cause of a no-start Honda is fueling, and so we will start there. The next most likely is spark and the least likely of all is a compression issue.

To quickly test for a gas issue – bypass the fuel system. We do this by pouring some fresh gas directly into the carburetor.

If you need video help, check out “Mower won’t start video” which shows you how to nail this test like a pro.

The symptoms of bad gas vary: mower won’t start; mower runs rough; runs but only with choke; splutters when cutting on a slope; dies when cutting grass; lawnmower starts and then dies.

Remove – Remove the air filter, by pressing the two plastic tabs.

Tilt your mower over and pour a cap full of gas into the carburetor.

Pull – Attempt to start the mower in the normal way.

There are two possible outcomes –

(1) Mower attempted to start or started – tells us we have a fueling fault. Check out the Choke system test below(2) Mower made no attempt to start – then we’ve likely eliminated a fueling fault, and the fault will probably be a lack of spark. Check out the Ignition system test below.

Does Your Honda Need A Tune-up?

Your Honda engine should be serviced at least once per season, ideally in the spring. Tune-up kit includes: oil; plug; air filter; fuel filter (if fitted); new blade (optional).Your Honda engine will likely be a GCV 160 or GCV 190cc.

The service kits will be identical, however, Items such as carburetors and blades will be different. Check out “Mower tune-up guide”.

Buying the tune-up kit online is easy. You can find your model code right at the base of the handlebars, on the body of the mower. Honda mower engines are very common and so you won’t have a problem getting a tune-up kit to match.

Test The Choke System

Your mower won’t start if the choke is faulty. In this next step, we need to be sure the choke system is working correctly. The correct starting procedure for a cold engine will require giving it extra gas to enrich the fuel/air mixture which a cold engine needs for a smooth start. Honda uses a choke plate type system to achieve a fuel-enriched condition. Your mower won’t start if the choke is faulty.

The manual version will have a throttle lever to control the choke. The auto choke version won’t have a choke lever. Instead, a wax thermostat mounted in the cylinder head heats and pushes on a lever that opens the choke plate.

To test we’ll need to remove the air filter, this allows us to view the choke plate. If you have a manual choke control, move the throttle lever to the full choke position to start a cold engine.

Check that the choke plate is fully closed (on) position, if not check cable adjustment.

Your Honda may have an auto choke. If so, when cold, the choke plate should be closed, as per the picture. If not, move the plate by hand to see if it’s stuck. If sticking, try WD40.

When the mower has started, the throttle should be moved to the run position. Check that the choke plate is in the fully open (off) position as per the picture. If not, adjust the cable.

If you found no issues with your choke system, move on to clean the gas bowl.

The Problem With Ethanol Gas

Honda recommends not using fuels with more than 10% ethanol. Ethanol is an alcohol fuel made from sugar, corn, and other plant materials. This alcohol is then blended with gas to make ethanol.

It’s claimed that the alcohol content of the ethanol will damage the carburetor’s rubber seals and hoses.

E15 contains 15% ethanol and is not OK to use in Honda mower engines. E15 burns hotter than other fuels, your mower is not designed to run at these temperatures. Ethanol absorbs moisture from the atmosphere.

If the fuel is left in the mower over the winter, the moisture collects in the carburetor. The water will often corrode and leave a varnish type deposit that blocks up the ports. This is what causes the poor running/no start.

If you need help prepping your Honda for hibernation, check out “How to winterize your mower video”.

Gas Stabilizer

Regular gas older than three months is stale unless you use a fuel stabilizer. Ethanol fuels are stale after one month. Gas is the number one reason for a no start or poor running.

Using a stabilizer will prevent lots of these problems. As you know, you don’t have to use the stabilizer all season, but do use it towards the end and when winterizing the mower.

Treating your gas will save you downtime, hauling your mower to the shop, and in repair costs. If you need video help on the subject, check out “Adding gas stabilizer video”.

Stabilizer – Just dump a few drops into the gas tank, and run the engine. Simple!

Try Cleaning The Gas Bowl

Often just cleaning the gas bowl does the job. Removing the carburetor is a bit of a mission, so if cleaning the bowl gets us out of trouble, it’s worth trying. If you suspect stale gas, then you’ll need to drain the gas tank also.

You can drain the tank by removing the fuel line, but I use a Briggs and Stratton oil extractor instead, which makes the job a ton easier, you’ll find a link to amazon here on the “Small engine tools page”.

If the bowl cleaning doesn’t work we’ll need to remove the carburetor, clean it thoroughly and drain the gas tank.

Honda mowers are fitted with different sizes and types of engines. These engines will be fitted with different types of carburetors. Your carburetor may look different, but the process is the same.

If you need help, the “Honda mower surging video” covers the bowl draining and cleaning process.

In this part of the guide, I will remove just the fuel bowl, spray in some carburetor cleaner. You can find your fuel bowl behind the air filter. You don’t need to remove the air filter housing to access the bowl.

Remember, if your gas is older than three months, it’s stale. So cleaning the bowl won’t always make it go. You may need to drain the tank, carburetor bowl and fill it with fresh gas. If this works out for you, great!

If not, check out this guide it covers the whole process and includes pictures – “Carburetor cleaning”.

Pull Wire – When working on your mower remove the plug wire and turn off the gas. This prevents a spill.

Removing the 10mm drain bolt will drain the bowl, but won’t clear the grit from the bowl. I like to remove and clean the fuel bowl. Drain the fuel tank now, if you need to.

Turn on the gas to check fuel flow, if no fuel flows from the carburetor, move on to – Fuel flow test below.

Spray some carburetor cleaner up at the main fuel jet before refitting the bowl.

That’s it, test mower and if it’s still not right, check out “Carburetor cleaning”.

Try Cleaning The Carburetor

Okay, I will assume you have tried cleaning the fuel bowl as per the above guide without success. Now you need to remove the carburetor and clean it.

Have some carburetor cleaner or similar, a container for nuts and bolts, and take lots of pictures to help you remember where levers and gaskets are positioned.

There are a couple of different styles of the carburetor, yours may look a little different, but the process is the same. Some will have a manual choke, others will have an auto choke. Some will be more challenging to remove than others.

If you need video help check out “Honda mower surging video”. It covers both types of carburetors and guides you through the process of removing the carburetor, stripping, cleaning, rebuilding, refit and adjusting.

Here are some of the tools I use to clean carburetors, they’ll make the job a lot easier. “Carburetor cleaning tools”.

If you find carburetor corrosion or it’s badly gummed up, go ahead and replace it, because nobody likes doing a job twice. Replacement carburetors are not expensive.

Note that GCV 160cc and GCV 190cc carburetors look the same, but are different. So when ordering has your model number handy.

Check out “Lawn mower carburetor types”, it’s a list of common type carburetors
