I allways said that OMC should have drug tested their engeneers for some of the ideas they came up with.

As far as teh carb bases being warped, I've had good luck sanding them flat on a hard surface with adhesive backed sand paper , you have to let part of the body hang over teh edge

I would HIGHLY reccomend that you DON'T run the stock metal reeds again. They are an accident waiting to happen IMHO. I run TONY DOUKAS RACING REEDS in my engine, and will run them in all of my 2 smokes from now on. They don't warp and leak like BOYESENS do, and have all of there advantages. The pick-up tubes just press in. I carefully use a pair of medium sized pliers and wiggle them and slide em out, then just press em into the new ones. Just make sure that you press em in all the way(carefully).

I'll put them on a surface plate tomorrow.. They don't look warped, but you never know... And yes, it's criminal to make carbs out of plastic... talk about an accident waiting to happen...

I've got a set of BOYESENS in my toolbox that oly have 4 hours on em. That's how long they lasted before they started leaking and coughing at idle. The single stage carbon reeds are much better reeds. TONY DOUKAS and CRIS CARSON both make single stage reeds.

Nymack66, I'm sorry, I missed your first post about having OEM reeds. Yes, they are 6 pedal reeds. Lets see how I do with the carbon reeds, and if not then I'll get back to you on buying your OEM ones. Many thanks for the offer!!!!

The carbon reeds are the way to go IMHO. I've got an old set of 225 reeds I'll send yeah for the cost of shipping if you want em. I don't trust steel reeds enough to run em anymore.
