Dear Graham and Barry

Sorry to harp on - the effect is proportional to the squatre root of density
altitude for any king of carb without an aneroid.

On a cruide (Continental style injection system) its proportional to density
(worse).

On a Lyc injection (Bendix type) its the same as a carb.

Of course on a diesel........sorry I'l shut up now.   No futher comments on
enriching carbs!


Cheers...........MARK WILKSCH

Hi Graham.

I think that the fuel consumption increases with height because the Bing
carbs
are not fully hight compensating.
If you want I can fax you the Katana list also.

Best regards

Barry
