Do I need to re-tune for a 3,600 ft change in elevation?
I have a BME 102 in a yak 54. It seems to be very well tuned where I live at 1,100 ft altitude. I am visiting family this weekend and thought I might take my plane. The elevation there is 4,700 ft. Will I need to make adjustments for it to be reliable?? Or in your opinion do you think it might be alright?? I know there are too many variables for you to tell me for sure. I guess I was looking for an opinion.
Thanks,
Scott

Run it and tune it as needed. Dont guess. It will be richer so you wont hurt anything.
If you do adjust the carb don't forget to readjust it for lower elevation. If you for get that would be BAD
