Reeds bad?

[crooklyn]

Hey,

I pulled the boots and reeds off my sled, actually the boots ripped off more like it.
I know they need to be replaced but how do i tell if the reeds are bad?
Should i just replace the whole or just the boots?

I have always looked through the carb side and if they seal (no light coming through) they are okay but just the reeds not the cages are usually in the $100 or less for the amount of work to get them out and the new gaskets plus if they are more than one season old I would always throw new in. The only time I've tried to save a few bucks is if I had to tear down the motor the same season I put the reeds in. I guess it would depend on the sled a little too an xp is a big job to pull them might be why I would always do them.

so no light = good on the reeds

and the reed cages is the boot?

I,ve run V force in the past and Boyesen. I will run Boyesen anyday . Thos reeds look chipped so yeah not good. I,ve seen many V force do that , even seen some break a petal and go through the motor. Not good!!. The 3,s seem to have solved this problem but i don,t trust them still. Work great till they break. Check them every year just as a precaution. Good Luck and anjoy !!
