Re:Peat fires continue to burn at air temperature of -50C in... by KMag on Thursday January 28, 2021 @04:29AM (#25939928)
Some Rotax two-stroke engines running pre-mix have been used in ultralight aircraft, so I think appropriately sized altitude-compensating carburetors designed to run a petrol-lubricant mixture may be commercially available. However, I imagine it's pretty expensive to put aircraft parts (even ultralight parts) on a racing motorcycle.

These carbs use an aneroid to move a needle valve at the base of the jet as the atmospheric pressure changes, effectively dynamically re-jetting the carb on the fly.

Neat!

Got any keywords that'd lead me to something like that on Google quicker than me randomly searching? (Or even a link to such a carb?)

Edit: Found it. "High Altitude Compensator". Thanks anyway.
