i have a 1984 fj40 with the 2f motor, it has extractors on in and a 350 holley catbu, when i go up steepish hills it just "stalls"
i then have to wind it over for a few seconds till it starts, it then runs ruff and blows smoke for about 10 seconds...... i have a feeling its the carby float as ive heard of this before but how do you get around it?? or what carby should i change it to to fix this problem

standard carb is better on hills than most aftermarket ones. holleys are known to be a pain in the arse.
LPG will solve this issue completely, and be cheaper to run
i was running a holley 4 barrel on a 308 and became quite good at staff recoveries... i would keep the pedal down and if I didn't make it ty going around - it sucks heaps...
what sort of problems do u get with the standard carby? am i better to go back to it? i didnt really want to go gas as it is hard to put it where it wont get in the way, tanks under will get knocked about and in the back its in the way and takes up to much room......
standard carbie is good once it's been rebuilt. the seals in em are pretty dodge in some of them.
Tuning them is a little harder i've been told than some of the others.
Gas... you won't understand until you use it. a tank will go between the chassis behind the rear diff. i had mine there for 5 years and they don't get in the way too often, as the leaf springs are around the same area.
but even if they do get knocked... they are strong as. i've had the whole car perched on the tank without a dent...
