operating generator.
Even with the right carburetor, engine horsepower will
decrease approximately 3.5% for every 1000-foot increase
in altitude. If no carburetor adjustments are made for high
altitude operation, this will have a major negative effect on
horsepower output.
If a carburetor for high altitude is equipped with an engine
and operated at a lower altitude, the lean air fuel mixture will
cause the engine output power to lower, over-heat and
seriously damage the unit.
