Marzocchi Z1 sport forks

Hi all
I have Marzocchi Z1 forks, with 150mm travel, on my 07 Orange Crush which are perfect for me when pointing downwards but I find that when confronted by a steep climb my front wheel tries to jump into my face. I know there is a version with External Travel Adjust that would prevent this, but I'm not that lucky. I know that their is air preload that I could adjust with a shock pump.... But I've read the manual and it doesn't make a great deal of sense to me.
Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to make these more managable? Or should I resign myself to saving for new forks?
Cheers

move your body weight forward when climbing.
not much you can do to the fork."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

There is only so far I can put my weight forward before I lose traction on the back wheel, which then also gets me nowhere0
