I am considering a Honda gxh 50 friction drive as opposed to a gx35 crankshaft kit, if someone could convince me the 50 had enough power to a 2-mile long 3% grade, I used to do it with my rs35, but very slowly.Apparently the crankshaft kit has NO problem with hills through gearing.

I took my new Honda up a long prox 30% grade the other day -- no problem
