Reeds

[ATrain666]

I have the boyeson power reeds in my 2003 blaster. I am wondering if the cages that go on after the reeds are supposed to be there or if i should cut them away like my buddy's 2001 blaster. The picture od the reeds in the pakaging look like they have a metal plate that is supposed to replace this cage type thing. Ill put pictures on tomorrow of them for you guys to check out to know what im talking about.

i just got them reeds if it didnt come with the metal plates put the stock ones back on.

the came in my wheeler when i got it. I just wanted to know if i could cut the stock bars down to where the aftermarket ones are to allow the reeds to open up more for more air and fuel to come in cuz i don't think mine are opening up far enough to give me the amount of power from the two stage reeds like im supposed to have.

i just put the reeds on with them two plates they came with idk other than that mine seems fine

dont go cutting your reed/cage if u dont know exactly what u r doing .....can lead to a big headace

im not talking about the rage itself but the metal pieces that go on after the reeds are installed on the cage.

you mean the reed stoppers?

 

[ATrain666]

yes the reed stoppers. Im thinking if i cut them down to where they are on aftermarket reeds then they will be able to open up more and allow more air/fuel in to the chamber. am i right or am i wrong. once they are in stalled into the jug they will have that to stop them since it is the same shape as the reed cage itself.
