Hi,
Just ordered a Honda HRX 217 VKA and was wondering the best place to find a shop service manual.

I plan to do my own maintance and repairs.

A lot of good vids on the Internet but nothing takes the place of a good manual.

Any help is appreciated!

Honda manuals are not particularly good unless you are already a reasonably proficient mechanic
Honda sell them on Amazon & evilbay

Hi,
Thanks, well...I'm a Marine Engineer.

Thanks again!

On the web was are all just electrons passing through cyber space. :confused2:
I could be an 8 year old girl who gets her jollies by convincing other people she is a 69 year old mower mechanic. :cool2::banana:
A person who is used to reading comprehensive marine manuals with find Honda's "comic book" approach to manuals quite amusing

Honda sells them on their website under shop manuals. I purchased one for my HRX , $38.95.

Hi,
You've got "issues" Mate!

First you assume no one has the brains to read a Mower Shop Manual.

Then you question their integrity and or call them pretty much a liar...

For something they've done for 40 years???

Men in India live in caves for years to rid themselves of Ego (Maya)???

Maybe there is a cave near you?

Thanks again!

Hi,
Thanks, just ordered one from there, 6th Edition with all the supplements!

Cheap enough, and they even gave me free shipping.

Hard to beat!:thumbsup:

Think you missed the point and the attempt at humour.
As for egos, I could add a footer 6" long full of qualifications but I don't because it is up to the readers to read what is posted and evaluate what has been said.
Not to blindly do what is suggested because I ( or any one else ) profess to be a guru.
In cyber space we all all equal, just electrons floating around thus whatever is said should be taken at face value.
And read the line about Honda manuals a second time.
When you get yours you will understand the comment better.

This all would be a different story if you were an 18 year old girl.... :banana:

So how do you know I am not ?

I've got to agree, though . . . While the information is there, the organization and style in the Honda manuals is unusual at best, and could be a *lot* better.

Because you said you were 8. Or was that a typo? Send me some pics privately to my "seagiant" account. :laughing:
