That sounds close to my problem... although I can't quite figure how the temperature relates. Something about the cold makes the pump work too slow or the supply becomes limited when I'm climbing a hill.

If the carbs are staving, it does not jive too well with the poor overall economy. Plus I don't get any of the popping and sputtering typical when your mixture is too thin

That would also work somewhat with the problem as I experienced it in December...

I have a couple higher PSI fuel pumps that I could try, but I had attributed those to my poor fuel economy...
