Aftermarket Reeds for OMC V6

[Forkin' Crazy]

I think he was just tryin offer his opinion, which is what the OP was wanting , opinions like a$$ Holes, everybody has one and most stink, guess the reed subject is little to touchy

So how many times do you have to beat your opinion drum to get your point across?

So falsely stating the reeds were cracked was an opinion? Even though nothing was mentioned about a crack? That is perpetuating false information. The OP also said:

The above are reeds that should live well in every day use.

LMAO!!! What a tool! I am not upset, I just think he, and now you are doing this forum an injustice. But carry on. I know nothing and have no real world experience to give back.

So when al said that the BOYSEENS split on start up , I took that as a crack also ,which I do believe is same thing, look no need try ruffle feathers here , we r all here for same thing. No need get all pissed off cause u like boyseens , it's what the man said, "split"

I have used Carson and Boyesen both are really good. But when I built my last two evinrude 95 motors I used Boyesen(just my preference) plus they don't use the Reed stops(to me a plus) and after one of my last motors ate a Reed stop just wasn't looking to have the stops in there again.

Ouch !! Everyone has their preference, and if u or anyone else like boyseenthen that's just fine , no harm no fowl ,but others mite like diff brand and if so then more power to em, I just didnt see why sumone needed start argument over it , the proof is in the pudding sort of thing , and as for.me I've never had prob with stock steel so they bout gud as any also , I hope everyone has gud luck with what ever they decide to run

I did read that and thought maybe spell check or typo, well so what u think he meant by spit? The reed just broke completely off and motor spit it out? Guess that's little worse than the "split" or crack ?

[mrichartz]

He is him...he meant spit

Haha. I didn't even realize lol. Racer. We know u the man on omc , what exactly happen to boyseen ? Acquiring minds need no lol

Had a slight spit out carb on fire up that cleared as soon as running. Due to having a couple that had about .010 opening. None were broken or cracked and made the same power as on first fire up.

Mrichartz the stops in your photo are the early version the later ones have more material before opening between each stop.

Thanks for stepping in and clearing that up

Buffed right out even has some custom porting on it and didn't even have to grind it

Ok. Due to running issues I've pulled all the carbs off and took the reed plate off. The reeds are steel. Gonna rebuild the carbs. Should I change reeds? I was told they were boyeson reeds.

[FMP]

You could put Boyesen in replacing the steel.
