Refueling; Carburetor Adjustment; Throttle Cable Inspection/Adjustment - Honda FG110 Owner's Manual

Throttle Cable Inspection
Verify the throttle trigger operates smoothly, releases properly, and
the throttle cable is undamaged. If there is visible damage, or if the
throttle lever does not operate smoothly or release properly, take your
tiller to your authorized Honda servicing dealer.
Check the freeplay at the end of the throttle lever.
3/16 ~ 5/16 in
(5 ~ 8 mm)
If adjustment is needed, see the Throttle Cable Adjustment procedure
below.
Throttle Cable Adjustment
1. Loosen the locknuts with a
10 mm wrench, and move
the adjuster in or out as
required.
Throttle Lever Freeplay:
3/16 ~ 5/16 in (5 ~ 8 mm)
2. Tighten the locknuts and
recheck throttle lever
freeplay.

Carburetor Adjustment

A tachometer is required to
adjust the idle speed. If you
do not have one, take your
tiller to an authorized Honda
servicing dealer to perform
idle speed adjustment.
1. Start the engine outdoors,
and allow it to warm up to
normal operating temperature.
2. Turn the throttle stop screw to obtain a stable idle, below the speed
at which the tiller tines begin to turn.
Standard Idle Speed: 3,100 ± 200 rpm

REFUELING

Honda recommends using a No-Spill
demanding requirements of the California Air Resources Board
(page 20).
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane rating of 86 or higher.
We recommend refueling after each use to minimize the air present in
the fuel tank.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the engine
has been running, allow it to cool first. Never refuel the engine inside a
building where gasoline fumes may reach flames or sparks.
You may use regular unleaded gasoline containing no more than 10%
ethanol (E10) or 5% methanol by volume. In addition, methanol must
contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. Use of fuels with content
of ethanol or methanol greater than shown above may cause starting
and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and
plastic parts of the fuel system. In addition, ethanol is hygroscopic,
which means it attracts and retains water in the fuel system. Engine
damage or performance problems that result from using a fuel with
percentages of ethanol or methanol greater than shown above are not
covered by warranty.
If your equipment will be used on an infrequent or intermittent basis
(more than 4 weeks before next use), refer to the fuel section of the
STORAGE chapter
deterioration.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
• Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
LOCK
NUTS
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
1. To refuel, set the tiller on
level ground and remove
the fuel tank cap.
2. Fill the tank with gasoline
to the shoulder of the filler
neck.
Refuel carefully to avoid
spilling fuel. Do not
overfill.
3. After refueling, tighten the
fuel tank cap securely.
Move the tiller at least 10 feet
(3 meters) away from the
fueling source and site before starting the engine.

Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when
