Increasing the small hole in the bottom of the low speed jet (idle tube) and the bottom of the multijet can also help at altitude. Increasing the gap on the spark plugs and advancing the timing will also help. The top two suggestions increase the fuel ratio a bit and the increased plug gap helps burn leaner mixtures. :eek:
