Spark Arrester
Servicing Your Honda 65
Spark Arrester
The spark arrester must be serviced every 1,000 mi
(1,600 km) of running or 100 operating hours to
maintain its efficiency.
Regular servicing prevents carbon buildup (which
can diminish engine performance) and also
complies with USDA regulations for regular
maintenance to assure proper function.
The spark arrester prevents random sparks from
the combustion process in your engine from
reaching the environment.
1. Allow the engine and muffler (1) to cool.
2. Remove the bolts (2), spark arrester (3), and
gasket (4) from the muffler.
3. Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from
the spark arrester screen. Be careful to avoid
damaging the spark arrester screen. The spark
arrester must be free of brakes and holes.
Replace, if necessary.
Check the gasket. Replace, if necessary.
4. Apply a seizure inhibitor (Three Bond 1901 or
equivalent) to the bolts threads. Install a new
gasket and the spark arrester in the muffler (1)
and tighten the bolts (2) to the specified torque:
4.4 lbf·ft (6 N·m, 0.6 kgf·m)
