My 83 inline 6 is significantly bogging down at higher altitude. Is there an adjustment that can be done? I live at the coast and fish occasionally at higher altitudes (4-5000 ft), so it would be nice to be able to make an adjustment. Thx.
I cant tell you what size because my chart only goes up tp 90hp in my book but for that elevation you might have to rejet your carbs to match the elevation.
It runs fine at sea level. I live at the coast and use it in the bay and it really moves. But, when I take it up to one of the lakes I fish (4800'), it really bogs down. It sounds like it want's to go when you first take off, but then just can't get going.
Unfortunately, it's a jet pump. If I could make some kind of adjustment short of replacing the jets, I could live with some power loss. The 115 is plenty of power for my flat bottom boat, but at this point it bogs down so much I can't even get on plane.
