WARNING
Operation using the alternative main jet at
elevations lower than the recommended minimum
altitude can damage the engine. For operation at
lower elevations, the standard main jet must be
used. Operating the engine with the wrong engine
configuration at a given altitude may increase
its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and
performance.
The density of air at high altitude is
lower than at sea level. Engine power
is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel
ratio decrease. Engine power and
generator output will be reduced
approximately 3 ½ % for every 1000
feet of elevation above sea level. This is
a natural trend and cannot be changed
by adjusting the engine. At sufficiently
high altitudes increased exhaust
emissions can also result due to the
increased enrichment of the air fuel
ratio. Other high altitude issues can
include hard starting, increased fuel
consumption and spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other
than the natural power loss, Champion
Power Equipment can provide a high
altitude carburetor main jet. The
alternative main jet and installation
instructions can be obtained by
contacting Customer Support.
Installation instructions are also
available in the Technical Bulletin area
of the Champion Power Equipment
internet site.
The part number and recommended
minimum altitude for the application
of the high altitude carburetor main jet
is listed in the table below.
