    I have a 79 cj5 that starts great and runs good until it warms up a bit and hits the green line on the temp gauge, Then if I go up a hill it loses all power and just crawls up the hill. It stays running, just no power and some hesitation,
    Could this be a bad or dirty choke? It has a 4brl carb.
