Hipa 17211-Z8B-901 Air Filter for Honda GCV160 GCV160LAO GCV170 GCV170LA GCV190 GCV190LA GC190LA Lawn Mower Parts with GCV160 Fuel Filter Spark Plug Tune Up Kit

What It Is

This is a tune-up kit for Honda small engines, replacing the air filter, fuel filter, and spark plug on GCV160, GCV170, GCV190, and GC190LA series lawn mowers. It restores airflow, fuel delivery, and ignition performance—ideal for annual maintenance or after a season of heavy use.

Fitment & Compatibility

What to check before buying:

• Engine model: Fits Honda GCV160, GCV160LAO, GCV170, GCV170LA, GCV190, GCV190LA, and GC190LA. Verify your engine’s model number (stamped on the engine shroud or under the fuel tank).
• Deck size irrelevant—compatibility is engine-specific, not mower deck size.
• OEM vs. aftermarket: Hipa is an aftermarket brand, not Honda OEM. The air filter (17211-Z8B-901) and spark plug (98079-55846) are direct replacements; the fuel filter may vary slightly in shape but fits standard Honda fuel lines.
• Measurements: Air filter dimensions are approximately 4.5 x 3 x 1.5 inches; spark plug is a standard 14mm thread, 0.75” reach, gapped to 0.028-0.031 inches. Confirm your existing parts match these specs.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Users report a good seal and fit, but the air filter foam density is slightly lower than OEM. Acceptable for normal residential use.
• Installation difficulty: Easy—no special tools beyond a socket wrench for the spark plug (5/8” or 13/16” depending on plug). Fuel filter swap may need pliers for hose clamps.
• Common gotcha: The spark plug gap must be checked and adjusted before install—don’t assume it’s pre-gapped. Use a gap tool.
• Cost savings: This kit costs about half of buying three separate OEM parts. Good value if you don’t need Honda-branded components.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Honda GCV160/170/190/GC190LA mower and want a quick, affordable tune-up kit for annual maintenance. It’s a solid aftermarket alternative for light-to-moderate use, but if you prefer OEM exactness or run your mower commercially, stick with genuine Honda parts.
