Carburetor Modifications for High Altitude Operation

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel m ixture w ill be
too rich. Perform ance w ill decrease, and fuel consumption w ill
increase. A very rich m ixture w ill also foul the spark plug and
cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that
at w hich this engine w as certified, for extended periods of tim e,
m ay increase em issions.
High altitude perform ance can be im proved by specific
m odifications to the carburetor. If you alw ays operate your engine
at altitudes above 1,500 m eters (5,000 feet), have your servicing
dealer perform this carburetor m odification. This engine, w hen
operated at high altitude with the carburetor modifications for
high altitude use, will meet each emission standard throughout its
＋
useful life.
Even w ith carburetor m odification, engine horsepow er w ill
decrease about 3.5% for each 300-m eter (1,000-foot) increase in
altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepow er w ill be greater than
this if no carburetor m odification is m ade.
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.
