breaking reeds......

[jfblasterboy65]

Ok im really getting frustrated on y my blaster keeps breaking reeds...i replace em and as soon as i hit the throttle spit spuuter then floods out.. take carb off and what do u no one of my lil dual stage petals is in half. i dont get why it keeps doing this.... could a reed spacer make it break easier?

do you have the little metal limiters on?
i see your running a 34mm so you probably wont fit that unless you use the spacer.

 

[jfblasterboy65]

yea the limiters r on..... it keeps breaking the bottom right one the lil one... and i checked my carb its clean and i have no idea what else to check

maybe your tightening them to much?

 

[L.T.]

maybe your tightening them to much?

or too little.........

 

[jfblasterboy65]

boysen dual stage reeds are not supposed to use tthe reed stops. i don't think thas your breakage problem.. but you can toss those stops..

 

[jfblasterboy65]

if ur not supposed to use the stops then y do they come with them?

 

[370]

the boysen reeds don't come with stops.. at least no boysen i;ve ever seen.. they come with screw plates so you can throw those reed stops in teh garbage
