    HIPA tune-up kit for Honda GCV160

    I once put in a new B&S air filter into this GCV160 from one of my other mowers and the Honda ran poorly. So I put back the OE Honda after cleaning it with compressed air and there it stayed til the other day as mentioned above. IDKY but the Honda ran perfectly with its own dirty filter better...

    HIPA tune-up kit for Honda GCV160

    Thanks 97prizm👍 I've used E3 plugs in the past on B&S engines and was very pleased indeed. This purchased new in 2009, (MTD)TroyBilt w/HONDA GCV160® from Home Depot still has the OE NGK plug and starts 1st pull. Maybe 3 pulls at the start of season. This is my 17th season with it and I have...

    HIPA tune-up kit for Honda GCV160

    Well, everything worked out well. Everything fit well and the engine runs well. Even the no-name spark plug. However, when I changed the cutting blade and blade adapter, this blade adapter,(which looks identical to the broken one that I removed), doesn't fit over the shaft & keyway. So, I put...

    Low Profile Tires - Not For Me

    Don't get me wrong, I love the look of larger diameter wheels as long as it's proportional to the vehicle & wheel well. However like many of you, I don't like the harsher ride over broken pavement in the everyday drive. To sit there and look at the vehicle in the driveway, the view is...

    It is the end of the road for my Integra

    It’s always sad to see a good vehicle(friend) have to go. I’ve had to do the same on several occasions over the years. Vehicles that, if rust here in the northeast hadn’t taken its toll and parts would have remained available(???), I would have driven these particular vehicles for ever.

    Surface rust after move to dry climate

    If you do pull the trigger on this CR-V, clean as much rust as you can and spray any product such as CROWN, RUST CHECT, FLUID FILM, BLASTER(Surface Shield). The 2014 CR-V is a good SUV. 2014 is the last year with the 2.4L Port Fuel Injection & 5 speed step shift auto and fold down armrests on...

    HIPA tune-up kit for Honda GCV160

    EDIT: I am going to order the filter(s) and spark plug kit as I need its cost to get free shipping on the other parts that I need even more. I will keep my old filters & plug in case these new parts don’t perform well in this engine. Reviews aren’t too bad on the HIPA parts so, we’ll see!

    HIPA tune-up kit for Honda GCV160

    My Question: Is anyone familiar with these HIPA Tune-up kits for Honda GCV160 lawnmower engines? They're sold on Amazon with 1 spark plug, 1 air filter & 1 fuel filter for ~$9. Should I stay with OE Honda parts? Just Babbling: My 2008-09 TroyBilt w/Honda GCV160 still starts first pull and runs...

    Restaurant adding things to your bill.

    Yes! We see this now with one of our favorite restaurants in the city(or use to be our favorite). And then they play dumb. This has happened 100% of the time that we went there. Now we don't go any longer.

    Camry head gasket issue brewing?

    IDK, remove the radiator cap and burb the system by squeezing & letting go of the lower radiator hose several times and see if you get any air bubbles or spitting coming from the radiator. You may have trapped air in your system. These Camrys don’t have many issues but, it is 24 years old w/237K...

    Tire Rack Tests All Weather Versus Winter Tires

    That would be an interesting comparison test for sure! As-far-as the UHP All Season vs All Weather tire comparison. I believe that both will shine for their respective categories and for their intended purposes. My bet is… The UHP will do better at the track and dry roads when the temps are...

    Brembo UV coating longevity

    The only time that I used BREMBO rotors, they were the uncoated and the rotors were fine but they rusted like any other. I would assume that the coating on the BREMBO's will be like any other in that, when it wears off from weather, it's gone...period! Being BREMBO, I would also assume that they...
