Hello,
New Blaster owner. I have a 2006 and was looking to upgrade the reed valve and honed in on the vforce 4 reeds after reading some threads praising them. The problem I am running into is that the carburetor boot doesn’t seem to fit as the stock reeds have a slot for the extra rubber that looks like it’s used to direct air flow on the carb boot. My question is if anyone else has ran into this same issue and if so did yall just buy a new flat mating surface boot or just cut off the extra rubber on stock one? Does it matter if I cut that piece of rubber off? It really isn’t much. Thanks and looking forward to getting some feedback.
