GENRATOR High altitude Jet
I have my Champion generator and did the break in, now I put the high altitude(3500'or higher) and I must say it was a PITA how many people leave it in or don't use it because it is a PITA. I would sa...

We have had our Champion 3100 remote start inverter genny for 3 years and had no issues running it at 5600' elevation here at home with the stock carb jet. Read the manual and it declared we needed a high altitude jet as you indicated above, called Champion and they readily sent one out. Installed it and found that after running it with the new jet I could tell no difference in performance or power production.
We predominately camp at high elevations so I just left it in there for the time being, we ran it with the stock jet for nearly a year, even above 8K' elevation and it performed well. I wouldn't be too worried running the stock jet for occasional use at higher elevations if that scenario works better for you. I didn't find replacing carb jet overly taxing as I set it on a work table making it easy to maneuver, after the first time the process is not too bad.
