When you need the most power from a generator, when it's hot and you want to run a A/C is when you will find out that heat and altitude can cost you 40% of your generators output at 10,000 ft. It takes a Champion 3500/4000 to run our 13.5 A/C up there and even then the converter has to be turned off.
Do you have your generator jetted for the altitude?
I do know that jetting for altitude won't get you back all the power but it should help it run better and more efficient.
I haven't rejetted my generators yet because I don't use them. Champion has a high altitude jet but it's only rated for up to 3000 ft or so the last time I checked.
Thanks. 3000 ft only? Wow.
To clarify the high altitude jet:
It is only approved/rated for use at or above 3000 feet. The 3000 ft. rating is the minimum altitude not the maximum. Using the high altitude jet below 3000 feet will result in a rich mixture with fuel wasting and plug fouling.
I hope this helps.
