Are people pulling out headshims on engines at sea level at all?
after completing run-in take out 1 brass .1 shime & see how u go !
also remove the carb restrictor as this will be starving you motor of o2 which is a lot thinner at 5000 feet.
the more o2 into the carby the more power u will have. JMO
