Carburetor Modifications for High Altitude Operation

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too
rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will
increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause
hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at
which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may
increase emissions.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific
modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your engine
at altitudes above 1,500 meters (5,000 feet), have your servicing
dealer perform this carburetor modification. This engine, when
operated at high altitude with the carburetor modifications for high
altitude use, will meet each emission standard throughout its useful
life.
Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will
decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in
altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than
this if no carburetor modification is made.
When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation,
the air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation
at altitudes below 1,500 meters (5,000 feet) with a modified
carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious
engine damage. For use at low altitudes, have your servicing dealer
return the carburetor to original factory specifications.
