We often have to rejet the carbs here to make them easer to start and run better
Of course we're at a bit over 6000' so we really don't have a choice. 
Have your dealer run it through his service trouble shooter online, it will likely turn 
up with some possible ways to fix it
Seems like we also used to have to run a hotter plug on some of the lawn tractors too, 
Deere didn't say to but we tried it and the tractors ran much better
