High altitude compensator

[geezer101]

Hi and welcome to mightyram. A quick question - do you live or drive anywhere in areas over 4,000 ft above sea level? I'd bet the compensator can be deleted and the vac port plugged up. A lot of Mikuni carbs weren't fitted with high alt compensators (the top cover on the carb didn't have the port drilled out) so....theoretically you could remove it without affecting your day to day driving. Better yet, plug it up and refit the compensator so it visually passes inspection seeming you are subject to Cali emissions. This will not affect emissions readings and they will be hard pressed to simulate 4,000 ft altitudes in a workshop!

*edit - just found out Modesto is a nose-bleeding 27m above sea level lol.
