The power rating of the engine indicated in this document is the
net power output tested on a production engine for the engine
model and measured in accordance with SAE J1349 at 3,600
rpm (Net Power) and at 2,500 rpm (Max. Net Torque). Mass
production engines may vary from this value.
Actual power output for the engine installed in the final machine
will vary depending on numerous factors, including the
operating speed of the engine in application, environmental
conditions, maintenance, and other variables.

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be
excessively rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption
will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific
modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your engine
at altitudes above 1,500 meters, have your servicing dealer
perform this carburetor modification.
Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will
decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meters increase in altitude. The
effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no
carburetor modification is made.
Operation of the engine at an altitude lower than the carburetor is
jetted for may result in reduced performance, overheating, and
serious engine damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel
mixture.
