They do a reasonable job up to about 4000ft, but above that the slide lifts the needle out of the jet well and things get really rich. The diaphragm can only do so much. Not to be too hard on the Bings-they, like all carburetors are hoist from the the same petard. Namely that carbs meter fuel to the VOLUME of air and at 7000ft you have left 25% of the atmosphere, ie: oxygen, behind and the carb is still adding fuel based on sea level proportions. The solution is, of course, fuel injection.
