High Altitude Operation

At high altitudes, standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will
be excessively rich. Performance will decrease and fuel
consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a
smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburetor and then
readjusting the pilot screw. If you always operate the
engine at altitudes higher than 5000 feet (1500 meters)
above sea level, have an authorized generator dealer per-
form this carburetor modification.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower
will decrease approximately 3.5% for each 1000 foot (300
meter) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horse-
power will be greater than this if no carburetor modifica-
tion is made.
If engine jetted for high altitude is used at lower altitude, lean
air fuel mixture will reduce performance and may over-heat
and seriously damage the engine.
