7.STOPPING THE ENGINE
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich.
Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately
3.5% for each 305m (1,000 feet) increase in altitude. The affect of altitude on the
horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.
