Hipa GCV190 Carburetor with Air Filter for Honda GCV 190 GCV190A GCV190LA Engine HRB217 HRX217 HRX217K1 HRX217K2 Lawn Mower 16100-Z0Y-813 Spark Plug

Good

Great replacement carburetor for my Honda Pressure Washer. Installed it with no problem. Engine started on first pull and ran as good as new ! This kit came with various gaskets, the air filter and spark plug; great value for the price. Recommended product. One recommendation: I used the old carburetor fuel bowl on the new carb after cleaning it, as the old bowl has a drain screw. You could also install a fuel valve , turn it off, and run the engine until it stalls(runs out of gas). Either will help minimize your carb jets getting clogged if your engine does not get frequent use.

this was easy to install and and worked better than the one that came with the power washer new. The old carburetor surged from day one. This new carburetor runs smooth. Instead of trying to rebuild the old carburetor, the price point on this one was low and complete with new gaskets and filters. I'm glad I bought it.

My local small engine repair shop quoted me $195 to perform an annual maintenance tune-up for my Honda HRX lawn mower. And with no specifics given or listing what items he would be replacing. Instead I searched for a ‘’YouTube’’ video and installing this kit myself, in the process saving a great deal of money and immediately gaining much personal satisfaction. Just bolting-on a new carburetor was easy as well as I felt uneasy in taking it apart myself. The carburetor once mounted worked perfectly! I was also very impressed with the high quality and the value of this complete maintenance kit. Most likely many items which the dealer would not offer nor include with his pricing. My Honda HRX started right up on the first pull. I highly recommend buying and trying this kit.

Replaced carb on 15 yr old HRX217 HXA that was surging and flooding. After repairing drive components I think it got crud in carb from being turned every which way but up. Attempted to clean out but still wasn’t running right which it had been having issues beforehand. This kit had all the parts to give it a fresh start, sparkplug, air filter and carb. Didn’t use the gas filter or hose may at a later date. It would have been helpful to have a layout of the carb and gaskets for putting it all back sandwiched together as mine is a pain with the metal brackets along with the housing to assemble. You can find these on internet if you have a question as to which goes where. Take pics would be helpful if you can. My carb doesn’t just come off due to mounting plates on mower. I was a bit worried when I opened the package and the brass screw on top of the carb looked like the assembler slipped and roughed the flat head screw pretty bad. But it didn’t seem to affect anything after about 20 minutes of mowing. After examining my old carb I think the old gaskets may be the problem after disassembled they seem to have deteriorated or shrunk down in some of the ports which are part of the design. But for now this was a good buy in my opinion. Mower seems to run better than it ever has actually. Day 2: opened shed gas fumes floor and mower deck wet from carb bowl leaking. Attempted to tighten thinking must not have been tight. Well after multiple tightening it seemed to get worse. Took bowl loose and went to buy gas as that was the objective to start with. On return rubber gasket fell off and as I attempted to reach it the float,pin, and needle also joined the diving team. After retrieving them from the deck I moved to shade. Probably a good thing as this was not good for my temperature 🤒. Finally success after multiple attempts to get the carb float parts back in proper location. Next get rubber gasket seated not easy standing on your head. Even went and got old carb to see what it used. Nope. Finally thought I had it Put it back together now the bolt gasket wouldn’t seal. Take it back off (yep rubber gasket came off again)seems the bottom bolt hole surface was now misshaped possible from trying to tighten to start with or could have been mfg. Took socket and tapped till it appeared to have good surface to seal on. I also took the old bolt washer gasket from original carb as it was bigger that the one that came on it I didn’t want to take apart again. Seemed to not leak tonight. Day 3: No leaking before or after mowing. I had seen someone else review this leak issue and as well. So beware you may need to watch it after first installed. Hope the little humor made your time well spent reading. Mower ran well all the time I was actually mowing hope this was just another my luck kinda deal. Price was good for what I got just a bit frustrating on having the leak and associated fun trying to get it right.
