The OP
To realize the beauty of the Honda 1000i you need to adjust the pilot screw. I had to buy a new screw after breaking the anti-tamper screw. The Honda truly won't run right at 1000' elevation with the stock settings. The mechanics of the job is difficult, but the adjustment is very insensitive due the jet well configuration of the carb.

I'm right at 980 ft ASL, and my Eu1000i runs fine, without ever tampering with the anti tamper pilot screw. They shouldn't need any tampering with, out of the box, new. If you left fuel stored in it and the jets got varnished up from cr*p in your gas, that's another matter. Clean the carb up, completely, degunk it, and it should run just fine with the stock settings.
