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
