if its tuned for 3000 feet, well then you will probably be all right
if its tuned for 1000 feet,,,,then you will be running a bit rich at 6000 feet and visa-versa
the higher the elevation the thinner the air,,,,,so you just need to be sure you are getting the right amount of fuel to match the air
running too lean can cause damage to your engine

2004 Polaris 330 Carb issues.. Advice
I got a promblem with a simialar issue.I just got back from a ride and i blew the spark plug out while out.
I think she may be getting hot.I`ve not touched the carb at all but upon looking at the plug it does look a little white and it is very hot.Any help on making the bike richer would help.
Thanks fellas

The needle does affect the idle and midrange. After 1/2 throttle the main jet takes over. If the needle is set too low it will run rich at idle, if it is set to high it will run lean at idle. Thats why when the weather gets cold you should richen (lower the clip) the needle to help with cold starts. When it gets hot you raise the clip for warm starts. It is like this on all carbs.
