    composite reed valves and injector service

    Composite reed valves and injector service

    We have reed valves for pretty much any 2 stroke,and crankcase stuffers for lots of outboards.We service fuel systems for most outboards,including injectors,vst's,fuel rails and regulators.
    When is the best time to change reeds and service injectors?Before a broken reed or lean injector causes a powerhead failure.Chipped reeds and dirty injectors reduce power and efficiency,while raising emissions.
    Message or call,Best quality,price,and fast turnaround,Chris

    Idle smoothed out and is awesome. Mid range punch is stout now. Mine is carbed so your results may vary...

    I installed Chris's reeds In my 04 DI and it has a nice mid range hit as well. Out of the hole is almost instant with 2 people where before it took a second or two longer. Very pleased with how well they perform.

    Is it pretty straight forward install does anything have to be machined before it goes back on?
