Carburetor Modification 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.
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 an authorized Honda servicing dealer
perform this carburetor modification.
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.
NOTICE
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 an authorized Honda servicing
dealer return the carburetor to original factory specifications.
