[QUOTE="Tzs503gp, post: 1141932, member: 19443"] Power equipment suppliers in SA dont take into account the elevation difference in SA. They supply equipment jetted for sea level. JHB is 1600 m above sea level. I went through a little frustration explaining to Honda dealers how carburettors work, and waited three weeks for a smaller jet for my generator. The engine used to run rough and hunt on part throttle. Since I changed the jet out, it runs as a Honda should, and uses less fuel. Edit: try running a hotter plug- first one heat range up, and maybe even two, but dont go any hotter than that. Definitely try to find a leaner jet if you are in JHB, and if you do, go back to the specified plug. [/QUOTE]
