Reeds

[iadubber]

I hate to post, but I've exhausted myself searching about this. I've been having trouble starting. So I decided to get a full car rebuild kit and put new reeds in while I was in there.

I popped the cage out and something just didn't look right to me. According to the blaster manual and all the pictures I have seen there should be metal reed stoppers on the outside. The cage in mine doesn't have these at all. There is an opaque/white plastic type plate in between the reeds and the cage. I'm not sure what the hell is going on with it, but it just doesn't look right at all.

EDIT: After searching it looks like it has a set of Vitos dual reeds. Not knowing what the hell I was doing, I put the Boysen stock replacements for the outer of the dual reed setup. This I assume will not work. The Vito reeds looked fine to me. So I'd like to know if I need to put the outer set back on for that setup to work. thanks.

It should be fine with out the reed stops. just make sure you put loctite on the screws. If that dosent work idk. If your interested I have a set of v force reeds I'm sellin. For 60.00 they probly have 15 hours at most on them.

I'd put the vito's outer petals back on. Dual reed setups have a heavy main reed for high rpm and a lighter outer reed for low rpm throttle response. Using a diff reed in place of the light reed can't be a good idea.

Yeah, that's what I plan on doing. They weren't damaged at all. I got the fourwheeler from someone who didn't know what the PO did to it, so I thought I would change them while I was in there, but I didn't have locktite.
