Carburetor Modifications for High Altitude Operation

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. 
Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A very 
rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. 
Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was 
certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.

High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to 
the carburetor. If you always operate your engine at altitudes above 
610 meters (2,000 feet), have your servicing dealer perform this 
carburetor modification. This engine, when operated at high altitude 
with the carburetor modifications for high altitude use, will meet each 
emission standard throughout its useful life.

Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease 
about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 feet) increase in altitude. The effect 
of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor 
modification is made.

When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the air-
fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation at altitudes below 
610 meters (2,000 feet) with a modified carburetor may cause the engine to 
overheat and result in serious engine damage. For use at low altitudes, have 
your servicing dealer return the carburetor to original factory specifications.

Emission Control System Information

Emission Control System Warranty

Your new Honda complies with both the U.S. EPA and State of California 
emission regulations. American Honda provides the same emission 
warranty coverage for Honda Power Equipment engines sold in all 50 
states. In all areas of the United States, your Honda Power Equipment 
engine is designed, built, and equipped to meet the U.S. EPA and 
California Air Resources Board emission standard for spark ignited 
engines.

Warranty Coverage

Honda Power Equipment engines certified to CARB and EPA regulations 
are covered by this warranty to be free from defects in materials and 
workmanship that may keep it from meeting the applicable EPA and 
CARB emissions requirements for a minimum of 2 years or the length of 
the Honda Power Equipment Distributor’s Limited Warranty, whichever is 
longer, from the original date of delivery to the retail purchaser. This 
warranty is transferable to each subsequent purchaser for the duration of 
the warranty period. Warranty repairs will be made without charge for 
diagnosis, parts, and labor. Information about how to make a warranty 
claim, as well as a description of how a claim can be made and/or how 
service can be provided, can be obtained by contacting an authorized 
Honda Power Equipment dealer or by contacting American Honda at the 
following:
Email: [email protected]
Telephone: (888) 888-3139
The covered components include all components whose failure would 
increase an engine's emissions of any regulated pollutant or evaporative 
emissions. A list of specific components can be found in the separately 
included emissions warranty statement.

Specific warranty terms, coverage, limitations and manner of seeking 
warranty service are also set forth in the separately included emissions 
warranty statement. In addition, the emissions warranty statement can 
also be found on the Honda Power equipment website or at the
