5. High altitude operation

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively

rich. performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.

High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter

main fuel jet in the carburetor and readjusting the pilot screw. If you always

operate the outboard motor at altitudes higher than 6,000 feet above sea

level, have your authorized Honda Outboard Motor dealer perform these

carburetor modifications.

Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease ap-

proximately 3.5% for each 1,000 foot increase in altitude. The affect of

altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modifica-

tion is made.

CAUTION: Operation of the outboard motor at an altitu,de lower than the

carburetor is jetted for may result in reduced performance, overheating,

and serious engine damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.
