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
610 meters (2,000 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
610 meters (2,000 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.
