High Altitude Replacement Kit

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.
Proper operation at higher altitudes can be ensured by
installing an altitude kit when required. See
High Altitude Replacement Kit
altitude kit is required.
