This is because there is less air as altitude increases. Less air means less oxygen available for combustion. Your snowmobile can be adjusted to overcome most of the problems found in high altitude riding. Carburetor adjustments are the most important. Less air at high altitude makes the air/fuel ratio too rich, which can cause poor performance. Common problems are hard starting, bogging, and plug fouling. Follow the Main Jet Setting chart which is available at a Yamaha dealer carefully. Proper carburetion adjustments will correct the air/fuel ratio. 8-9

High altitude adjustments
Operating at high altitude reduces the performance of a
gasoline engine to about 3% for every 305 m (1,000 ft) of
elevation. This is because there is less air as altitude
increases. Less air means less oxygen available for com-
bustion.
Your snowmobile can be adjusted to overcome most of
the problems found in high altitude riding. Carburetor
adjustments are the most important. Less air at high alti-
tude makes the air/fuel ratio too rich, which can cause
poor performance. Common problems are hard starting,
bogging, and plug fouling. Follow the Main Jet Setting
chart which is available at a Yamaha dealer carefully.
Proper carburetion adjustments will correct the air/fuel
ratio.
