SERVICING YOUR HONDA ENGINE
AIR CLEANER SERVICE
A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance. If you operate the engine in very dusty areas, clean the
air filter more often than specified in the
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air filter,
will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type
of damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited Warranty.
1. Remove the two wing nuts from
the air cleaner cover, and
WINGNUTS
remove the cover.
2. Remove the filter elements, and
separate the
foam
filter element
from the paper filter element.
3. Inspect both air filter elements,
and replace them if they
are
damaged. Always replace the
paper filter element at the
scheduled interval (see page
23).
