Hi All ,
im adjustin 044 carbs and the saws are being used at 5000'-9000' ft in elevation,
is there do you need to Compensate for elevation change? im setin the high jet to 12,000 rpm at 5000' above sea level.
thanks

Your saws will run slower - higher, there is just less air, leaning will bring it back to speed,,,,,, but there is also less air acrosed the fins too cool, so just running a little fatter won't hurt.

Also keep in mind the temp. 5000' @100 Deg. is 9000' worth of air.
