MAINTENANCE
Replacing the Air Filter (Honda)
Standard air filter
If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly,
the air filter may be clogged. If run with a dirty
air filter, the spark plugs can become fouled,
disrupting operation.
It is important to replace the air filter regularly
(see the heading Maintenance Schedule for
the proper service interval).
To clean or replace the air filter:
1. Loosen the fastener and the two top
inner screws. Remove the air cleaner
cover.
2. Remove the paper filter.
3. Remove the foam rubber pre-filter and
clean or replace as necessary. To clean,
wash with warm water using a mild
detergent. Squeeze out excess water
and allow to air dry. After drying, dip the
filter in clean engine oil and squeeze out
excess.
4. Tap the paper filter against a fixed
surface to remove dust. If the paper filter
is still dirty, it must be replaced.
5. Refit the air filter as follows:
Place the foam prefilter into the air
cleaner compartment. Replace the
gaskets.
Mount the paper filter in the air filter
housing and tighten the screws and
wing nuts.
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust
system, become very hot
during operation. Risk for
burns if touched. Allow engine
and exhaust system to cool at
least two (2) minutes.
