years ago, there was a guy in texas that sold a OTis unit - Oil Tamed integrated System for about a 100$
I bought one and put it in a Chubby that's hanging on the wall in my garage - it greatly changed and improved the ride of the fork - it had springs and an oil damping unit.
Lost his name when the computer crashed but if you try a search, you might be able to come up with an after market system

The Chubby is well past its prime. Back in the day, it was "the bomb", but these days you can get a fork that performs better, lasts longer, and weighs a LOT less for $75. I'd recommend an upgrade of your fork, but then, that's just me. I rode a Chubby in the cold recently and was reminded just how bad the elastomer suspension is when the temperature drops (just like a rigid fork).
