Machine Maintenance
To prevent accidents, disconnect the spark plug whenever you are
performing any maintenance procedures on the machine.
Engine:
(1) Spark Plug / Lead
(2) Exhaust Guard
(3) Exhaust
(4) Oil Filter / Dipstick
(5) Starter Grip
(6) Fuel Cap
(7) Finger Guard
(8) Air Cleaner
(9) Carburetor
Adjusting the Carburetor
Adjustments should only be made by a Honda Certified Dealer. The engine
should not be adjusted to run at a speed in excess of standards set by Honda.
Doing so voids any warranty on the machine immediately.
Cleaning the Air Cleaner
Remove the air cleaner cover (1) by releasing the top catches (2) and tilting
away from the engine body until it’s released. Remove the air cleaner (3) and
tap it gently on a flat surface. If it’s too dirty or damaged, replace.
Do not brush or use fuel / oil to clean the air cleaner.
After cleaning the air cleaner, return it back to the case and insert the cover
on the bottom side, pushing the cover towards the engine body until the
catches hold in place.
Servicing the Spark Plug
Use only an approved spark plug tester. Replace the spark plug every 100
hours or every season (whichever occurs first). A spark plug wrench is
available from your Honda Certified Dealer.
Check the spark plug gap with a feeler gauge and set at 0.028 – 0.031”.
