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. 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
5,000 feet (1,500 meters), 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.
