adjusting the engine. At high altitudes increased
exhaust emissions can also result due to the increased
enrichment of the air fuel ratio. Other high altitude
issues can include hard starting, increased fuel
consumption and spark plug fouling. To alleviate
high altitude issues other than the natural power
loss, FIRMAN can provide a high altitude carburetor
main jet. The alternative main jet and installation
instructions can be obtained by contacting Customer
Support. Installation instructions are also available
in the Technical Bulletin area of the FIRMAN internet
site.
The part number and recommended minimum
altitude for the application of the high altitude
carburetor main jet is listed in the table below.
