I want to install Boyesen Reeds (#164) in my motor. Has anyone installed them on this motor? I'm not sure if I should install new jets and set the timing to something other than 6 ATDC. The motor has the stock #39 jets. Any suggestions are appreciated.

BTW...The only reason I am considering the reeds is to protect the pistons. From what I understand, the Boys burn whereas the stock reeds will damage a piston. What are the chances of breaking a stock reed on a 11 year old motor?

Thanks in advance!
