Hi all, 1st time out in my new jimny, I was setting up some trial sections, and was impressed, however it appears that when driving inclines in 4 wd low, the engine stalls ? would fitting a swirlpot with pump etc remedy this, as its not funny accelerating down/across a sideslope !!
Hope someone can help Thanks Del

Mines never done that on some proper steep hills. Not sure why yours does unless you have next to no fuel in it.

Tank full of fuel, my mate who runs a dyno says this is common, a bit like standard carbs running short or fuel unlike su's on steep climbs, the question is will a swirlpot etc sort my problem out ?

agreed it is common on high performance cars to suffer from fuel surge/ starvation and on force induced engines this can be fatal !!

however its a jimny theres no need for a swirl pot etc

your problem shld be an easy fix when you get to the bottom of it
