High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your engine at altitudes above (6,000 feet) 1,800 meters, have a engine dealer perform this carburetor modification.
Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each 1,000 feet (300 meter) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made. Do not operate a modified engine below 6,000 feet.
