I pulled out my blaster's reeds and found that one was .020 of an inch off. The resond I pulled them out was because it was spuddering, badly. Should I replace them, or could my problem be a gap in the intake boot letting in to much air because it ran hot enough to change my fmf pipe a rainbow color.

 

The reeds being warped will cause the blaster to run rich also if boot is cracked it will run lean. replace asap.

 

Flip the reeds around thta will tighten them back up.

 

motor dude i had a newer pair of boyesen reeds and i flipped them over cause there was a gap the other way , there was still a gap when i flipped them over
so that doesnt always work

 

So basically I need to replace the reeds and check the air box boot for cracks? Is there anything else that could cause it to sputter and barly take off?

 

Not to be a smart a$$, but how is your plug? 2 strokes are picky about the spark they get.
