Your dealer should know. Just tell them what elevation you'll be riding at and they can look it up.

P.S. Welcome to the forum candosmith.

Find a dealer close to where you are going and ask them what they recomend.

Thanks I got it! on that, The other problem is,it floods out weting the plug and won't start I have to dry the plug clamp the fuel line then put it back together it will start so if I'm thinking the seat valve is letting the fuel past the carb and into the cylinder.
I'm pertty sure this is the problem but let us see what you all think.

Replace the needle and seat and clean the carb, as for the altitude change you will also have to check the clutching for higher altitude, they change springs and secondary settings.
