Re: Manual Throttle

If you really want to fix your problem, either get your carb rejetted for the altitude, or adjust your timing for change in altitude. The rule of thumb is something like add 2 degrees of advance for every 1000 feet of altitude gain (its been a while since I needed this, so double check this). I used this method to keep my Blazer running as I climbed to an altitude of 13,000 feet over Teluride, Colorado. Yes, you will loose some power and performance, but the engine will not stall out at idle.
