4. OPERATION
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too
rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will in-
crease. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plugs and cause
hard starting.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifica-
tions to the carburetor. If you always operate your engine at
altitudes above
1,800
meters (6,000 feet), have your dealer per-
form this carburetor modification.
Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will de-
crease 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.

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 1,800 meters (6,000 feet) with a modified carbure-
tor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine
damage. For use at low altitudes, have your dealer return the
carburetor to original factory specifications.
