Adjusting a carb for high altatude 9,200 Feet

Hello All, This is my first post and hopefully my last stop. I just bought a snowblower, a Ariens ST 1032 / 10 HP 4 Cycle. I don't know to much about adjustments on the carb. The elevation I live at is 9,200 Feet above sea level. When I started the snowblower up at the buyers house ."6,000 Feet, it was fine." I got to my cabin and started it up and it sounded like it was bogging down after running it for a bit. Through internet searching I have found that the carb has two adjustments? One spring screw under neath and one on the side. I don't know which dose which or where to start. I think I have screwed with it a little to much and would like to know how I can set both back to a netural spot and start over. Please help as I have lot's of snow to blow.... Thanks Ryan K

Polish, Go to Lowes, buy a piece of steel, 2 in's wide x 4 feet long and 1/8th thick. Cut in half, grind corners round, drill holes to match auger housing sides. Then paint and install with carrige bolts and wing nuts!! Cost about $10.00!!! Fred

Polish, I also painted 2 tennis $#%* Day Glo Orange, cut slits in them and put them over the tips. Did it just for safety reasons, did not want to fall on a dull spear!! Fred
