High density altitude ==> leaner mixture required
Carby heat exacerbates the apparent density altitude.

6500 doesn't need full rich, especially if it's hot too. Even full throttle (normally aspirated engine) won't produce anywhere near maximum power. Odds are that full throttle will be within the permitted leaning power range.

May I suggest you don't apply full rich on descent but enrichen gradually as you descend?
