TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Serial Number and Type Location

Record the engine serial number and type in the space below. You will

need this information when ordering parts and when making technical

or warranty inquiries.

Date purchased: ____________________

Radio Frequency Interference Label (Canada)

This engine complies with Canadian radio frequency interference

regulations, ICES-002.

Carburetor Modifications for High Altitude Operation

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too

rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A

very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.

Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was

certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.

High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications

to the carburetor. If you always operate your engine at altitudes above

5,000 feet (1,500 meters), have your servicing dealer perform this

carburetor modification. This engine, when operated at high altitude

with the carburetor modifications for high altitude use, will meet each

emission standard throughout its useful life.

Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease

about 3.5% for each 1,000-foot (300-meter) increase in altitude. The

effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no

carburetor modification is made.

NOTICE

When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation,

the air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation at

altitudes below 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) with a modified carburetor

may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine

damage. For use at low altitudes, have your servicing dealer return

the carburetor to original factory specifications.

Emission Control System Information

Source of Emissions

The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of

nitrogen, and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons and oxides of

nitrogen is very important because, under certain conditions, they

react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon

monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic.

Honda utilizes lean carburetor settings and other systems to reduce

the emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and

hydrocarbons.

The U.S., California Clean Air Act and Environment Canada

EPA, California and Canadian regulations require all manufacturers to

furnish written instructions describing the operation and maintenance

of emission control systems.

The following instructions and procedures must be followed in order to

keep the emissions from your Honda engine within the emission

standards.

Tampering and Altering

Tampering with or altering the emission control system may increase

emissions beyond the legal limit. Among those acts that constitute

tampering are:

• Removal or alteration of any part of the intake, fuel, or exhaust

systems.

• Altering or defeating the governor linkage or speed-adjusting

mechanism to cause the engine to operate outside its design

parameters.

Problems That May Affect Emissions

If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine

inspected and repaired by your servicing dealer.

• Hard starting or stalling after starting.

• Rough idle.

• Misfiring or backfiring under load.

• Afterburning (backfiring).

• Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.

Replacement Parts

The emission control systems on your Honda engine were designed,

built, and certified to conform with EPA, California and Canadian

emission regulations. We recommend the use of genuine Honda parts

whenever you have maintenance done. These original-design

replacement parts are manufactured to the same standards as the

original parts, so you can be confident of their performance. The use

of replacement parts that are not of the original design and quality

may impair the effectiveness of your emission control system.

A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that

the part will not adversely affect emission performance. The

manufacturer or rebuilder of the part must certify that use of the part

will not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emission

regulations.

Maintenance

Follow the maintenance schedule on page 6. Remember that this

schedule is based on the assumption that your machine will be used

for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load or high-temperature

operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require

more frequent service.
