Exposed moving parts can

outboard motor without the
engine cover.
If the engine fails to start, remove
the spark plug, clean and dry the

plug and attempt to start the engine
again.
If the engine starts, and no
mechanical damage is evident,

hour or longer (be sure the water
level is at least 150 mm (6 in)
above the anticavitation plate).
As soon as possible, take the motor

to a Honda outboard motor dealer
for inspection and service.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

(FOR SCHK and LCHK types)
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 and other
system to reduce carbon monoxide
and hydrocarbons.
