Problems That May Affect
Emissions
If you are aware of any of the
following symptoms, have your
engine inspected and repaired by your
servicing dealer.
• Hard starting or stalling after
starting
• Rough idle
• Misfiring or backfiring under load
• Afterburning (backfiring)
• Black exhaust smoke or high fuel
consumption
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems on your
Honda engine were designed, built,
and certified to conform with EPA,
California, and Canadian emission
regulations. We recommend the use
of Honda Genuine parts whenever
you have maintenance done. These
original-design replacement parts are
manufactured to the same standards
as the original parts, so you can be
confident of their performance.
Honda cannot deny coverage under
the emission warranty solely for the
use of non-Honda replacement parts
or service performed at a location
other than an authorized Honda
dealership; you may use comparable
EPA certified parts, and have service
performed at non-Honda locations.
However, the use of replacement
parts that are not of the original
design and quality may impair the
effectiveness of your emissions
control system.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket part
assumes the responsibility that the
part will not adversely affect
emission performance. The
manufacturer or rebuilder of the part
must certify that use of the part will
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
not result in a failure of the engine to
comply with emission regulations.
Maintenance
As the outboard engine owner, you
are responsible for completing all
required maintenance listed in your
owner's manual. Honda recommends
that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your outboard
engine, but Honda cannot deny
warranty coverage solely for the lack
of receipts or for your failure to
ensure that all scheduled maintenance
has been completed.
Follow the MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE on page 94 and 95.
Remember that this schedule is based
on the assumption that your machine
will be used for its designed purpose.
Sustained high-load operation, or use
in unusual conditions, will require
more frequent service.
