I just got a set of boysen reeds and I was wondering if I run the new reeds with the reed stops on or off? And what does a reed spacer do???
thanks,

run it with the reed stops off...........that is how you get more top end power.........

 

The boysen reeds only give you better rpm responce. But I have lost power on top end with them, because you now have four reeds that have to close instead of two. The delta v-force have four reeds but that is a different set-up that works very well.

If I were you I would run the reed stops on them.

 

what is recommended, and what is the difference if the stops are on or off? what do the stops do?
will I use more fuel with new reeds? and what about the reed spacers is that recommended when putting aftermarket reeds? what do the spacers do?
thanks for the help,

c'mon somebody has to know something.
I get alot of info from these posts.

 

The most top end will be with the delta VForce reeds or what I have which is the stock ones ported out

 

No fuel consumption will not increase with just a simple reed change. The factory stops just keeps the reeds from opening much farther than is needed. If you exceed the limit of the reeds the only thing that will happen will be the distruction of the reeds. In english terms use the factory stops and the reeds will last longer.

I have used reed spacers, gained nothing. I also have used boost bottles and gained no performance.

No me the best reed cage is the factory one ported and installed carbon fiber reeds. The carbon fiber reeds will run you about $80....
