The combustion process produces carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons 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 Motor Co,, Ltd. utilizes lean carburetor settings as well as other systems, to reduce carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbons.
