The air metering flap on the K-Jet (all versions) is a mechanical mass air flow sensor. No altitude compensation is required, since the actual mass of the air is mechanically measured as it goes into the engine. Proper fuel is added via the mechanical linkage in the fuel distributor, trimmed for correct O2 in the exhaust by the computer on the KE models.

No MAP sensor, no altitude compesator, etc.
