Jeff, 

I think that's the way it is with a 1600 engine, mine is a 1600 DP and I put a 
bigger jet in the pict 34 (130mm) didn't run any better (maybe a little 
cooler). When I get the new engine in my bus, I'll let you know how it runs the 
hills (inviting myself over to Austin here :) ) but I think your bus should 
runs hills a little better, don't you have reduction boxes? That's make a huge 
difference with splittles other than that I think we need to look at a 1776 
with Dual carbs to stomp on the hills.

  I have  a carb/gear/tire question. 

  Running a 1600 single port.  Any opinions on size of carb out there?  I am 
currently running a 30 pict 1. 

  It runs great in the realitively flat stretchs but really doesn't power much 
up a hill.  I live in W Austin and there are hills between me and any where I 
go.  I have the stock 14s, would smaller tires help? 

  Maybe the answer if alpine gears?  If so how much would performance suffer on 
flat ground.


  Jeff
