High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburetor and readjusting the pilot screw. If you always operate the snowthrower at altitudes higher than 6,000 feet above sea level, have your authorized Honda Snowthrower dealer perform these carburetor modifications. E
