Hi y'all,
My bike uses a Honda GX 50 and I consistently go on long rides into the mountains from where I live (Phoenix). I have yet to push the bike past 2.5k feet in elevation because I fear the fuel mixture would become too rich and the engine wouldn't run right. There are some places around here like Flagstaff and hopefully the Grand Canyon eventually that I would like to ride to that are 6-8k feet above sea level, will my engine run? I don't have an adjustable carb. Would there be any harm in just trying and seeing how it goes other than fouling the plug?
