PROBLEMS THAT MAY AFFECT EMISSIONS

aware of any of the following symptoms.
1. Hard starting or stalling after starting.
2. Rough idle.
3. Misfiring or backfiring under load.
4. Afterburning (backfiring).
5. Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
The emission control systems on the engine is designed, built and certified to
conform to Canadian emission regulations. Genuine parts are recommended
when servicing the engine. Genuine replacement parts are manufactured to the
same standards as the original parts. Using replacement parts that are not of
the original design and quality may impair the effectiveness of the emission
control system.
It is the responsibility of the aftermarket part manufacturer to certify that the part
will not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emission regulations.
SERVICE THE AIR FILTER
NOTICE! Operating the engine with a damaged or missing air filter will allow
dust and debris to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear or scoring on
the engine pistons. Always ensure the air filter is in place.
A dirty air filter will restrict airflow to the carburetor, reducing the engine’s
performance. Clean the air filter more frequently than specified in the
maintenance schedule if the engine is used in dusty areas.
1. Remove the air cleaner’s outside cover (Fig. 6). Do not allow dirt and
debris from to fall into the air cleaner assembly.
2. Remove the air filter from the air filter housing.
3. Clean the housing interior with warm soap and water. Allow to dry before
reassembly.
4. Inspect the air filter to see if you can clean it or if it should be discarded.
Discard if it is too dirty and replace with a new filter.
