Can't help you on the carby questrion mate but hopefully someone can help you soon!

my old L28 powered MQ's carbie used to stop working, but by that time it had also lost traction :-)

The LSD in most GQs should provide more traction and thus more angles, and then there's lockers..... :-)

I haven't had Silver on a big angle, yet :-) A lot of comp rigs run LPG to avoid this problem.

I have a TB42 auto, have never had any problems with hills. My mate has a TB42 Maverick auto and has not had any problems with hills. Another mate used to have a TB42 manual and as far as i know didnt have any issues with hills. I have lpg also but dont use it much out 4wding as it not as powerful.

I have a TB42s (carby) in my GQ & this is news to me. I was of the understanding that replacing the factory carby with another type can course this problem but the factory carby was designed with this type of application in mind & to date I've not had this issue with my own.

Maybe a little bit off topic but a bloke I know has a 350chev in a hilux and had to has issues with steep uphill climbs as the floats are nth-sth and had to get a carb with east/west or similar. However I would think as above an offroad 4b motor surely takes this into account

A fairly common conversion is to put in a 350 holley. These apparently run better but they have issues with hills. Recarb use a 350 holley but convert it to a 330 with their special kit to elliminate the problem on hills (this may be the nth-sth to east west conversion?). this is designed for the TB42 engine.

But like i said earlier, i dont know of any issues that the original carby has on his.
