I live at 272' above sea level. Now if I take my bike to lets say 6,500 above sea level. It starts to run real funny.
A) What are my carbs telling me?
B) What would you do next?

The air is much less dense at an elevation of 6,500 ft. compared to 272' so there is less oxygen per volume of air. Consequently, your engine will run rich (unless the temperature at the high elevation is much colder than that of the low). So, the only cure is to move back to your house at the low elavation because generally speaking, that is easier than removing the carbs. :woohoo:
So would that tell me my carbs are working as a meter, gauge, barometer or something like that?
