Servicing Your Honda
146
Engine Idle Speed
The best way to assure proper carburetion is to see your dealer for
regularly scheduled servicing, including carburetor adjustment.
Remember, idle speed adjustment is not a “cure-all” for other
problems in your engine’s fuel-delivery system. Adjusting the idle will
not compensate for a fault elsewhere.
The engine must be at normal operating temperature for accurate
idle speed adjustment.
For information about high altitude carburetor adjustment,
see page 227.
