    On Fastrike 150 number of reeds? Looking at parts, it says 2 per assembly? So 6 per side? Or 12 to completely replace all?

    there is 3 carbs per side, look to be 3 holes in the manifold, and 3 cages(Leaf plate assembly) One for each hole/ carb Trying to understand 4? Do they over lap?

    Or is this mean each leaf plate assembly gets 8?

    Thank you.

    Let me see if I can explain it so even I understand it. Here is the leaf valve it self, it has 4 petals, each side of the cage gets one leaf so you need two plates you have 3 reed cages per side one for each carb. You need 12 leaf plates total. When you order them Chris will sell you the complete kit enough to do your motor. Hope this helps.

    Thank you! I sent a message to CcReeds earlier, the website did not state how many reeds for $110.

    I am going to give it a whirl, as my last ditch effort.
