equivalents for repair or replacement.
Emission Control System Information
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. Engine utilizes lean carburetor setting
and other systems to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and
hydrocarbons.
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.
