| Post subject: | 6 rib and 1641 |
i am being told repeatedly to get rid of my 6 rib and run a 3 rib, my motor is a 1641, i like the way it runs and it is lasting a really long time, but i cant crawl up nything, i have to have a lot of wheel speed and keep it goin, im wondering if a 3 rib would make the change im being told it will, so i can just tractor up hills, p.s. i only have a progressive weber on the bug, i was thinking bout just improving carbs this year and leave the 6 rib in, what do u think,anybody? |

a 3 rib would be the most cost effective fix then you can lug around buy you a 3 rib and save your 6 fo upgrade time |

You definitely need a 3 rib with a motor that small a six rib is good for motors above 2000cc. aaron |
