Default Losing Umph uphill

Hello again. I am losing my umph going uphill _sometimes_! This was
main reason/concern about the canister. I have replaced the choke
pull-off, fuel filter, and fuel pump. I have to go over a 'hill' on my
way to work every night and sometimes it is no problem. Other times, it
seems as though the carb is flooding out. This carb is like no other
I've seen, is it an _easy_ rebuild? Is the 'carb' my problem? TIA. Dan

I probably won't be of much help to you with your problem, but I'll
tell you this (which eventually MAY get you some help..) Without
knowing what kind of vehicle this is, what year it is, mileage, etc..
It is next to impossible for anyone to help you.. Re-Post with more
details, and pray to the RAMJ+W Gods.

Ha! Totally my bad! I just guessed that since I've posted so many dumb
questions that everyone knew what I had Maybe I should also not post
while inebriated? Nah, I like being inebriated. Ok, '89 Wrangler with a

The kit for the carb runs about $20.00 and is easy to do. i just make a
point of not taking anything apart that doesn't need to be moved to
clean.

To test the canister, just drive home tonight with the gas cap loose or
off. If it still bogs, the canister is fine.

I don't know if you have tested the canister or not or changed it's air
filter?
