Chuck, can you please explain how a carby would be able to sense more dense air and be able to add more fuel to make use of more dense air?
I am ready to claim that carburators are not able to sense any such changes in climate, nor are they able to increase/decrease fuelling rates accordingly. This is why serious competitors have spare jets with them to finetune carbs to suite the day. If carbs are calibrated at sealevel, and run in a competition at noticeable higher elevation - the mixtures will be too rich. Same applies here in the northern hemisphere. Carbies calibrated in the summer will lean out in a freezing cold winter day.
