No problem - I know all about being busy.
I will admit that I have no experience with high altitude operation - I live no where near the mountains.
But I do know that the KV and KY sets are extremely sensitive to operation at altitude.
What is normally done is to tune the engine to run just a bit leaner.
Fortunately, your set has an adjustable carb, and this is done with the turn of a screw.
At the bottom of the carb is a large screw. This is the main mixture screw. You can try turning it in about 1/8 - 1/4 turn to see if that helps the set start any easier, and maybe run better.
I have uploaded a copy of the Owner Manual for this set, which contains the maintenance schedule.

It's late here so I won't be able to adjust the fuel ratio until the morning. When I do I will accept the answer so you get credit. Thanks for the service manual.
Dale.
Not a problem.
