fuel question when climbing hills

[jnjmoonsfishing]

so here is a dumb question. when climbing hills steep hills with my Argo the engine starts bogging down. is that because its just a simple fuel intake or is it because of the carb. i have a 2000 bigfoot.

its becouse you have a gravity fed fuel systom not a fuel pump

thanks that was what i though. will just have to make sure the tank is topped off. i was only 2 gals down yesterday. but the hill was pretty steep.

mine does the same thing.
I have herd of peaple putting electric fuel pumps on for this reason

I ended up putting an electric fuel pump on mine to solve this problem. If you search back for a thread titled Bigfoot Cutting Out, I have the part #, etc. for the pump and details of the installation.

With the help of McCoy, I also put an electric fuel pump on my Argo. It makes cold start ups and hillclimbs much easier.
