will this generator run well at high altitudes? can the air be adjusted on the carb.

What I can tell you is, we live at 7200 ft. We have used it 30 min. So far it runs great. I can't give you any more information than that, sorry.

I would check the weight limit on your car rack. The generator is not huge, but the weight could be an issue.

Sorry I can't comment, I but unless you have done a lot of modification to the 302 it will not pull enough air wasting fuel and performance. Not much help but Glen

Changing the orifice will do nothing for high altitude. I have a house at 8500 feet, and can not use any of the newer stly with th O2 sensors. They only function to 4000 ft, and 4500 feet will cause intermittent operation. I have used this type heaters for over 20 years and they work great at 750 feet in Ohio, and wanted one for my house in Colorado, but to no avail.

I would tend to agree. I have to use starter fluid and carb cleaner each time I use the generator to get it running. It's almost brand new.

It should have no problem if it draws less than 20 amps. I use my generator at times to run a similar unit and have power to spare on my camper. I think mine has a start up of 14 amps and settles in around 12 amps.

This summer we were camping at 8.500 feet elevation. I had installed a wave 6 heater in our 5th wheel trailer and it worked fine. We did not experience any problems with the heater. Obviously the higher the elevation, the less oxygen thus I am sure in some way the heater could be affected. I would think that would be true for "any" heater! Good luck with your heater, they are worth the money spent in my option.

I'm not using at a high altitude but you should not have any problems. Have you tried talking to Zojirushi customer service at all?

You can make it work but you'd have to jet it and have a full exhaust to make it run right. Youre better off getting a hi flow drop in with a modified airbox lid(remove it)and do the same mods. It'll be more reliable and the performance gain will be the same. Coincidentally, you can't remove the lid without re-jetting your carbs for the extra flow.

yes but the gas pressure will have to be set for the elevation. Have it professionally installed and you should not have a problem. I have used my for 2+ heating seasons and I am still impressed by the efficiency. Great unit, very economical. I would definitely recommend tid unit.

Yes it will my whole camper including the roof top A.C. unit, I have never run the generator in a camp ground I . Use it mostly at NASCAR races where everyone uses generators

I think you're asking "will the motor get ample air flow..." - I highly doubt it. This is a weather cover, not a cover intended for use while running.

Yes, there is an adjustment for altitude when you install. I have two units at 6500 ft and they work fine.

I am not sure what jetting would be good at that altitude. It is very tuneable with a pilot jet, jet needle and accelerator pump nozzle, all of which can be changed. That is the good news and the bad news, since there is a lot to tune.

I am not sure of the numbers but I used this carburetor to replace a fixed jet carburetor like you are talking about on a 5hp Tecumseh engine. It worked great. With the adjustable screws I could set the mixture for my higher altitude so the engine would run properly. It never did before.

It worked on my electric stove but I'm in Florida. Can't answer the high altitude question.

Yes if the engine is not supercharged. Normal carbureted and fuel injected engines should be adjustable.
