Just moved from California to Idaho where track elevations are 2500 to 5000 feet. What float height and needle setting would be a good starting point? Black slide.
We haven't run it in Idaho yet. We ran in Cali at sea level.I would try it just the way you were running it in Idaho. You might be surprised to find it works just fine the way it is.
Whatever carb that comes on the newer 206. Don't have the kart here to check at the moment.Walbro or Briggs carb? (It makes a difference.)
Just shooting from the hip: .900" & 1st clip.

Then it's the newer carb. Engine was new this year and has updated seals.If it's a new engine produced in the last 2 years, it will be the newer style Briggs logo carb.
Can't tell you without looking though if you've got a newer production engine or an old stock one without seeing it.
The newer carbs have the Briggs diamond logo on the side of the slide body of the carb.
Thanks Jimbo. I didn't know about the optional needle.If you find that you do have to adjust the carb Briggs came out with a different slide needle for that purpose.
The carb originally comes with a "BGB" needle. The altitude needle is identified with the letters "DID"
I have lots of them if you need them. Just make sure it's legal at the tracks you race at.
I've sold / set up multiple engines for people in Phoenix 2000 ft and Denver 5000 ft

Whoa now.You are correct but it doesn't make any difference to any of the flatlanders if some track on Mt Humpty Trumpty allows it.
The engine is called LOCAL OPTION
