The altitude kit is to perform the opposite. As altitude increases, it causes the mixture to run too rich thus the requirement for smaller jets at altitude to lean it out. An altitude kit would make the jetting worse in an already lean mixture. Here's an interesting link:

Your low speed jet is plugged.... The engine is not getting enough fuel at that (governed ) throttle setting through the low speed jet... The engine starts to drop in rpm, the engine responds by opening the throttle to maintain rpm, the high speed or main jet comes on-line and overspeeds past the desired maintained speed since the unit is under no load, The engine trys to drop the rpm by closing the throttle some.... Then the cycle starts all over again... Find your low speed jet and clean it, it's only partly plugged.. Good Luck, Friiy
