If you're washing down cylinders with a carb, you either have a phuckd up carb or a very unadjusted carb, or both.
...or I could drive from my house with a properly adjusted carb in the cool morning hours at ~1500 feet elevation to my favorite fishing spot an hour away at 8000 feet elevation and be running way too rich. this is a common scenario for myself and one reason I went efi. carbs can be fairly sensitive to elevation and temperature changes. I have to re-jet my carbureted dirt bikes almost every ride due to elevation change. one reason I love my newer efi bike.
however, it's "Red Sticker and cannot be ridden year round in CA state parks, so I keep some older "green sticker bikes that are still carbed, but can be run year round at state parks. even though the carb will be at a sub-optimal AFR more often than not and therefore have more harmful emissions...go figure, lol.
I'd say if you live in Florida, there isn't hardly any elevation change to worry about; you'd be set. my truck when driven, regularly goes from sea level to 10,000+ feet, so it became an issue for my purposes.
