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.
Even
with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will
decrease about 3.5% for each 1,000-foot (300-meter) 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 tor high
altitude operation, the air-fuel mixture will be too
lean for low altitude use. Operation at altitudes below
5,000 feet (1,500meters) with a modified carburetor
may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious
engine damage. For use at low altitudes, have your
servicing dealer return the carburetor to original
factory specifications.
OXYGENATED FUELS
Some conventional gasolines are being blended with alcohol or
an ether compound. These gasolines are collectively referred to
as oxygenated fuels.
To meet clean air standards, some areas use oxygenated fuels to
help reduce emissions.
If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and meets
the minimum octane rating requirement.
Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel's
contents. Some areas require this information to be posted on
the pump.
The following are the
EPA approved percentages of oxygenates:
