well atleast give us a rough idea, 1 year , 2 years, 3 etc.. no point saying a long time and then I cant remember.
I have heard of reeds lasting less than 50 hours, some less than 20 hours, and some that broke straight away after a bad sneeze on start up.

Phil ,
In all sincerity , there are those who can make a toothpick last a year while there are those who can break an anvil with a rubber mallet within hours . There is no telling what type of skill set you possess have or have not .
If your the type that needs to be protected from yourself , then as my homeboy the used car manager says , Sir I'm sorry , the new car lot is on the other side of the dealership ... >

Phil ,
Mr. Carson is without doubt on of the most fair and honest hard working people I can think of .
I bought one of those sets of yellow reeds from him back when I had black hair ...
They went maybe 100 hour's because the rubber on my blocks were bedded in and dry . I think that might be one of the ones with a brown spot on the upper left corner . Can't hardly fault the part , for piss poor installation ..
Merc carb's have 3 little holes under the throttle blades . Back when I was filling them shut and hand drilling them to what I wanted .. so I could blast off idle clean , I managed to rip one yellow leaf off of a prepped block , but never once since he went to the white reeds .
Or maybe he still sell's the yellow reeds , but to only those who are mature enough to have em ...
Every used white reed in that box has aprox 250 hours on them . The ones on the blocks with the shorty stops came off of other peoples motors , I turned em over and ran them on my junk for another hundred hours . At the time , they were just starting to chip on the leading edge of the storm ..
So , 250 to 350 hour's in the hands of your typical boat guy ... less if you a total ( how you say ) wanker .....

Been dealing with Chris for years, have installed countless sets even in race applications and maybe 1 set had a tip crack.
As for longevity.....proper installation is also a key factor.
I can personally tell you from experience, he is very fair and honest.
He has also improved them through the years.
All brand break or fail like a motor does from time to time.
