The reeds are mounted on the reed cages with small screws,the cages are bolted to the reed plate,located between the crankcase front half and the plenum,or air/box,the front of the motor that has the throttle body butterfly on top.Not difficult to access at all,in a relative sort of way,Chris
Take a look at the following parts breakdown from our website... it gives you a pretty good idea of what/where you're looking at:

Needless to say,we make a great epoxy/glass replacement reed for your( and almost all ) motors,Chris
I'm not sure mine are bad. Motor runs strong. Just never checked them. Read several posts on them. Thought it would be worth a look! If I find anything I'll get in touch!
What is the difference or the advantage of the epoxy/glass vs. carbon fiber reeds ?
Aside from the fact that the Merc oem replacement reed set costs 545$ as compared to our 135$,in our testing,and that of many others the epoxy/glass is more flexable and seems to perform and last better than the carbon,Chris
