Battery Will Not Charge And Electric Starter Will Not Operate; Fuse Replacement - Honda BF8D Owner's Manual

BATTERY WILL NOT
CHARGE AND ELECTRIC
STARTER WILL NOT
OPERATE
The battery-charging circuit and the
electric starter relay circuit are
protected by the 20-ampere fuse. If
the fuse burns out, the engine will not
charge the battery, and the electric
starter will not operate. The engine
can be started using the recoil starter
or the emergency starter rope.
The ignition switch is protected by
the 20-ampere fuse. If the fuse burns
out, the engine will not start or run,
and the power tilt switch will not
operate.

the engine cover.
