RE: PLEASE HELP ME!!!
At high altitude, the air is thinner, so you need less fuel for the given air intake, so you want it leaner. If you are at extremely high altitude (running at the top of everset) you may need to tighten in your HSN and LSN in a lot more than normal.
check all the basics first: glow plug, fuel to carb and all that normal ****
then set the needles to factory settings and try to start it.
Lean it out on the HSN 1/4 turn at a time until you can get it to start.
If you lean it and lean it and lean it and still cant get it to start then it probably isn't the altitude.
You haven't had the HSN fixture loosen out on you have you? Because if it loosens out and you tighten it back in, it may not be aligned correclty and you may not be getting fuel through. Even if you twist the fixture in to tighten it the slightest bit it will misallign the fual intake hole.
