Yes, the Honda HRC216HXA, specifies 3/4" to 1". As I mentioned previously our older mower (same commercial model) never experiences problem. Newer model does. So currently in process of trying various settings free play etc....to see if any cure coming about. Thank you for your response.
Honda HRX217HYA rotostop blade clutch popping out of gear
- Thread starter Sparkland
- Start date
I have reset the free play (in 1/8" increments) to ALL of available clearances range recommended.
Still periodically have problem.
Again, does anyone have access to the Honda Service Bulletin back in 2009 to address this issue, (The fix at that time was to slightly bend (1 mm) the yellow Roto-Stop button contact surface).
the yellow lever lock button (14) abruptly releases... causing the blade to quit turning. It seems to periodically, pop off the roto-stop cable arm (11) when moving forward the handle and yellow button.
Yes...Have adjusted free cable play at a # of positions, within AND just outside Honda tolerance...3/4" - 1" free play....problem persists.
Prior post states, "Honda did publish a Service Bulletin back in 2009 to address this issue"....and could someone please provide me this specific service bulletin.

Sorry to bring back up an old topic, but has anyone found the culprit to this issue?
I have 14 Hrc216's on our fleet with one of our newer ones having this blade popping issue. Seems to happen while mowing over no-so-leveled yards. I cannot recreate the issue here at the shop, Taking it don curbs, tapping it into the side of the curb, I cannot get it to fail here at the shop. After massaging the linkages a few times I thought I had it fixed, but alas, It showed back up with a repair tag.
Chasing my tail here, any new info would be greatly appreciated!
