2.Using a tachometer, check the engine speed. If you can't obtain
the top no load engine speed specified, consult your Honda
dealer.

Stopping

Model without flywheel brake:
1.Move the throttle control to the stop position. The fuel cock will
automatically turn off.
Flywheel brake model:
1.Move the throttle control to the slow position.
2.Release the flywheel brake lever (located on equipment) to stop
the engine.
When the engine stopped, the fuel cock will automatically turn off
(GXV140) or turn the fuel valve to the OFF position if you do not
intend to restart the engine soon (GXV160K1).
NOTE
Check that the engine stops. If not, check the cable installation
procedures included in chapter 6 & 7.

High altitude operation

High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller
diameter main jet in the carburetor. If you normally operate the
engine at altitudes higher than 1,800 meters (6,000 feet) above
sea level, consult your dealer about main jet replacement.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will
decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in
altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than
this without suitable carburetor jetting.
An engine with high altitude carburetor jetting must never be
operated at low altitudes, because the engine may overheat and
be damaged. For low altitude use, reinstall the standard carburetor
main jet.

The importance of maintenance

A well maintained engine is essential for safe, economical and
trouble-free operation. It will also help reduce pollution.
To help you correctly care for your engine, the following pages
include a maintenance schedule and maintenance procedures for
regularly scheduled maintenance.
These procedures are based on the assumption that the engine
will be operated in a relatively clean environment. Operation in
unusually wet or dusty conditions will require more frequent
service than specified in the maintenance schedule.
