The electric starter relay circuit and battery charging circuit are
protected by a 25-ampere fuse. If the fuse burns out, the electric starter
will
not operate. The engine can be started manually
if
the fuse burns
out, but running the engine
will
not charge the battery.
1. Remove the
6
X
12
mm
screw from the rear cover of the engine
switch box.
2. Remove the fuse cover, and inspect the fuse.
If the fuse is
burnt
out, remove the fuse cover, then pull out and
discard the burnt-out fuse. Install a new 25-ampere fuse, and
reinstall the fuse cover.

Never use a fuse with a rating greater than
25
amperes. Serious
damage to the electrical system
or
a fire
could
result.
3.
Reinstall the fuse cover. Install the
6
X
12
mm
screw and tighten
it
securely.
Frequent fuse failure usually indicates a
short
circuit or an overload
in
the electrical system.
If
the fuse burns out frequently, take the engine
to a servicing Honda dealer for repair.
