anyone have tricks or mods for their factory carbs? MIne keeps dieing on steep inclines. Have to winch the rest of the way to the top.

 

well you could convert your truck to propane. the kits a little spendy but does the trick. i used to have that problem when i ran off gas. also with propane you could lower your rpms down to about 300. plus propane is cheap. around here its $2.30

 

yeah x2 on the propane
i swapped for a weber a while back hoping i would fixthat problem but it didnt help a whole lot

 

Propane is an option already thoroughly explored. And Fuel injection. I know those are available, but in the short term, before I can do either of those things, I want to go out and show up some jeep guys in the nearer future. Carb Mods anyone?

 

I take mine up some pretty steep inclines but they are fairly short(50 yards) I took a hose from the overflow in the carb through the air cleaner and out. This helped drastically on all hills for that matter whether wheeling or on logging/forest service roads. I also set the float pretty low but I can't attest to whether that made a difference since I haven't been up anything steep since. I hope that helps. Joe

 

Biggest fix is to add a tube from the overflow out into the air cleaner:
