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.
If the generator operates at high altitude, change
the main-nozzle or adjust the idling-screw of
carburetor.
■
5.5) After starting and warming up the engine,
turn the choke lever to “OPEN” position.

If the generator always operates at altitude
above 1,000 meters, contact with an
authorized dealer servicing to modify the
carburetor.
Generator output power should be modified
according to the altitude and ambient
temperature.The correction factor refers to
13-2.
WARNING
●If the carburetor has been modified for high
altitude operation, the air-fuel mixture will be
too lean for low altitude use. Operation at low
altitude may cause the engine to overheat and
result in serious engine damage. The
carburetor needs return to original
specifications.
