High Elevation Tillotson Adjustment
Posted: Sun Dec 07, 2014 11:30 am
Hi Everybody---'69 XLCH,standard bore,stock cams,new valves. Tillotson HD. Fixed main jet.
I live at 6500ft. elevation and within 25 miles from home, I can be anywhere between 4500 and 9000ft elevation. Does anyone have any suggestions about carb tuning for these conditions? I think it's dialed in pretty well right now, runs well, plugs read ok. Back in the day I had a Tillotson with an adjustable main jet, but I don't know if that's something that I should be concerned with.
A joker in the deck is that we snowbird it during the winter at a place that is actually below sea level. If I take it down there............
Just interested if anyone has any thoughts on the matter.
Thanks
