Strongthium 17211-ZL8-023 491588s Air Filter Compatible with Briggs & Stratton Honda GCV160 GCV190 Engines Troy-Bilt Ryobi Toro Craftsman Pressure Washer Lawn Mower with F6TC Spark Plugs

What It Is

This is a replacement air filter and spark plug combo (F6TC) for small engines, designed to fit Briggs & Stratton, Honda GCV160/GCV190, and compatible Troy-Bilt, Ryobi, Toro, and Craftsman lawn mowers, pressure washers, and other outdoor power equipment.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your engine’s model number (e.g., Briggs & Stratton 12-series, Honda GCV160/190) and check the existing air filter’s dimensions (roughly 5.5” x 3.5” x 1.5”). This aftermarket filter replaces OEM part numbers 17211-ZL8-023 and 491588s. It will NOT fit decks smaller than 20” or engines without a rectangular air box. The spark plug gap should be set to 0.030” (0.76mm) before installation. Always cross-reference your equipment’s manual for exact fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs. OEM: This is a budget aftermarket filter; foam density and seal fit may be slightly looser than Honda/Briggs genuine parts. Expect shorter service life in dusty conditions.
• Installation: Easy – remove the air filter cover, swap the filter, and replace the spark plug with a 5/8” socket. No special tools needed.
• Common Gotcha: The F6TC spark plug may not be pre-gapped. Check and adjust gap to 0.030” to avoid misfire or hard starting.
• Dual Use: Works for both lawn mowers and pressure washers, but ensure the air filter housing is clean before installing to prevent debris from entering the engine.

Should You Buy It

If you need a quick, cheap replacement for a common small engine air filter and spark plug, and you’re comfortable with basic maintenance, this combo is a solid value. It’s best for occasional use or backup machines, but for heavy-duty or commercial use, stick with OEM filters to ensure better seal and longevity.
