I have a 1979 CJ7 that has a in-line-six-banger in it,one barrel carb. and a three speed trans. in it.Engine is a 258and the problem I have is that it floods out and stalls on steep grades unless you use first gear low range,then sometimes sluggage.It has 31x10.50 tires on it.What can I do to fix this problem of stalling.I'm going to use the jeep for hunting mostly.We do have some steep mountains here in southern WV,gas-line-roads and logging roads.Alot of the places I built my own road to.So I could use some advice on lockers also.


Flooding out is unusual indeed.. Does it smoke black smoke when flooding out?
I'm thinking I would be looking at tune up parts in the lectric spark system before thinking about the carb.
Carb problems usually occur on the hiway as well as off road. That particular carb is meant to be used off road and most times works fine off road.
Perhaps you could tell us more about when it happens.
Only up hill?
Only with your pedal mashed to the floor?
Only on rough places?
Only when you first "punch" the pedal?
Does it do this when on a flat place and "lugging" the engine?
Give as many particulars as you can.
We will get to lockers later.
