On a Honda, what would cause a slightly higer reading of Hydro Carbons
(HC) at idle if it's fine at 2500?  ANd CO were fine at both?  And all
other systems are fine...

-----------------------------------------------------------------

  Is it carbureted?  If it is, then the carb base gasket (Honda calls it a 
carb insulator) is not sealing.  This is due to age of the rubber and just 
needs to be replaced.  Has happened to my 85 Honda CRX twice; high HC at 
idle but everything else is fine.  Once I replaced the carb insulator, 
passes with flying colors.
