What are common problems you have with a Murray lawn mower when at high altitudes?

Answer by  MOWERMAN2000 (34)

Check the carbuerator setting. If the carb is not properly adjusted (usually turned open slightly more for high altitude. ) the mower will stall, smoke or generally run poorly

Usually what will cause this problem is at higher altittudes is the fuel air mixture you can also do a web search and it will pull all the information you need and it will all be printable so you can file it. Or you can contact the dealership and tell them what is happening they will trouble shoot it.

You may need to adjust the carburetor. This is due to lower than normal oxygen levels at higher altitudes (typically, between 3,000 to 4,000 feet above sea level).

Answer by  JP66 (32)

Problems with altitude usually have to do with the jetting of the carburator. If jetting isn't corrected for altitude it usually runs poor because it is too rich.

The idle many need to be adjusted to compensate for the lack of oxygen from using it at higher altitudes.

could experience a hard time idling along with trouble mainting higher rpm's. since there is less oxygen at higher altitudes you need to adjust the carb to less fuel.
