Does a Wen generator have a high-altitude kit?

Many WEN generators come with at least one high-altitude kit, and we offer a high-altitude kit for every generator we sell. Each kit consists of a carburetor jet, a bolt gasket, and a bowl gasket. The kit is installed in the carburetor, and adjusts the fuel-air mixture so it's optimized for the lower air pressure found at higher altitudes.

How do you start a power generator at a low altitude?

Start by familiarizing yourself with the generator's manual, paying special attention to altitude-specific guidelines and recommendations. Start your power generator at lower altitudes whenever possible to help it get used to less oxygen gradually. Keep a close watch on how it's doing, adjusting air-fuel ratios as needed for the thin air.
