SERVICING YOUR HONDA ENGINE
AIR CLEANER SERVICE
A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance. If you operate the engine in very dusty areas, clean the
air filter more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air filter,
will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This
type of damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited Warranty.
Standard Type
1. Release four latch tabs from the air cleaner cover, and remove the
cover.
2. Remove the foam filter from the cover.
3. Remove the paper filter from the air cleaner case.
