  • Page 58 TECHNICAL & CONSUMER INFORMATION (GASOLINE ENGINES) Carburetor Modification 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.
  • Page 59 The emission control systems on your Honda engine were designed, built, and certified to conform with EPA and California emission regulations. We recommend replacement parts be purchased from Husqvarna, Inc.. These original-design replacement parts are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts, so you can be confident of their performance.
