My scoot experience so far is a Roketa 250 in Tucson, at/around 2500-3000 ft altitude; runs fine right out of the box. If I get a similar scoot (similar engine, though probably a trike) for our summer digs up in the high country, what's the likelihood I'll have to tinker with carb settings? Up here I could be running at anywhere from 4500' to 9000'.

Three years ago I bought a 2008 Roketa MC 54 250 (vertical engine) for delivery to Cortez CO at 6,300 feet altitude. It ran fine after I had it unpacked and gone through. I don't remember messing with carb settings as I am always afraid of making things worse if adjusting prior to running. It ran fine at that altitude. A year later we moved down to Arizona for lower altitude for my lungs. It is still running OK for me. I don't want or need to run at full throttle while traveling. So for me I am still running at factory settings, at least those settings that the distributor sent to me in the crate.
I have not driven a lot due to some health problems and I am just stating that my experience about altitude is it did not make much difference.

Thanks, bobf. That's the kind of personal experience I'm looking for. Anyone else?

Looks like I forgot to put in my local altitude. It is about 1,400 ft in Casa Grande.

Well, I had to look up what you meant by Habood Central. Amazing, you are right. We have been here year around for about a year and half. We saw a couple of these nasty sand storms already but did not know they had a special name.
We have been seasonal in this part of the world for several years now. Been in dust storms before but still never knew the name of Habood. Thanks for that education.
