HONDA BF2.3D MOTOR BREAK-IN PROCEDURE.
Like all motors the BF2.3 needs to be broken in well to ensure a long trouble free life.
Please follow these starting instructions to help the process.
1.
Lift the motor cover and turn the chrome limiter cap on the side of the carburetor back and forth 6 to 8 times to break
lose any dry gas that may have formed during storage. Turn the limiter cap all the way to the left.
2.
Pull the choke and start the motor. Once running close the choke and run the motor at high rpms varying the speed
for a good 10 minutes.
3.
While running adjust the idle adjustment screw (located on back of carburetor) to increase the idle speed just short of
engaging the clutch. As the motor breaks in you will have to adjust the idle down.
PULL STARTER ROPE STRAIGHT OUT.
If the starter rope is pulled to hard, straight up or to one side, the starter will break.
Read all manuals before starting!
