[T2] Carbs and change if altitude

[Avocado Tom Tarka]

Richard,

I had similar experiences a few years ago in Colorado and I'm interested to hear what other Volks come back with.

I know that the Idiot book has guidelines for high altitude operation - I think it involves advancing the timing - and presumably one could readjust you carb and/or use a bigger air correction jet, too. 

Cheers,
   Tom

I lose a lot of power up in the mountains.  Back when I had my stock 1800 with stock dual carbs(before I burned it up), I was in the mountains and could barely pull out on the highway in town.   Do I adjust timing?  Adjust the carb?
