High Altitude Warning

Operation at High Altitude

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. Outboard motor output will be reduced. 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, dealer can provide a high altitude

carburetor main jet. The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained by contacting

Customer Support.

The part number and recommended minimum altitude for the application of the high altitude carburetor

main jet are listed in the table below.
