Howdy, I joined this forum hopeing to find answers/solutions on the same machine with the same symptoms. Looks like we are in the same boat and looking for answers. The only thing I can think may be the issue (if these machines are equiped as such) would be a computerized altitude adjusting system that adjusts the air fuel mixture according to altitude. This si a friends machine and I'm not near it at this time but would appreciate anyone's inpute. Thanks
