    Hey guys, just wondered if there is anything I can do about what seems to be flooding when I am going up a steep incline? The Jeep seems to start chugging and losing power when I am going up a steep incline, and when I get to the top (it hasn't DIED yet..) it blows some smoke and starts running right again. This normal?

    Thanks!

    Two things: 1) Float level - per spec or slightly lower, 2) fuel pressure - may work better at lower than "normal" pressure. The trick is to reduce the fuel pressure but I'm not familiar with the hardware. Maybe try a search?
