EMISSION
CONTROL
SYSTEM
Source of Emissions
The combustion
process produces carbon monoxide,
oxides of nitro-
gen,
and hydrocarbons.
Control
of hydrocarbons
and oxides of
nitrogen
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 utilizes lean carburetor
settings
and other systems to reduce
the emissions of carbon monoxide,
oxides of nitrogen,
and hydrocar-
bons.
The California
Clean Air Act
California
regulations
require
all manufacturers
to furnish
written
instructions
describing
the operation
and maintenance
of emission
control
systems.
The following
instructions
and procedures
must be followed
in order
to keep the emissions from your Honda engine within
the emission
standards.
Tampering
and Altering
Tampering
with or altering the emission control system may increase
emissions
beyond the legal limit. Among those acts that constitute
tampering

l
Removal or alteration
of any part of the intake,
fuel, or exhaust
systems.
l
Altering or defeating the governor linkage or speed-adjusting
mech-
anism to cause the engine to operate outside its design parameters.
