The motor is an 1835 with a 6 rib. As for the propane i love it. i'm not gonna say its better then a carb cause a lot of guys do good with carb. An a lot of guys are not into "smokin propane" :D as i've been told lol. myself ill never go back to a carb no jet cleaning now i can be riding an not working on my carb. pretty much turn the tank on an your ready.

Plus propane is equivalent to 100-110 octane!

Any idea how it compares to Gas, cost per mile wise? Hard to say on a buggy, I know.
