It's dead, Mammy! It's dead!

You should call Chris Carson Marine and order his composite reeds. They will help with idling, overall running, and fuel efficiency. Only about $125.

I love your part descriptions. This is going to be a good journey for us to follow.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the tip. The reeds seem OK. Not bent, frayed, wiggly or anything weird. I'll keep him in mind though.

Your existing reeds will likely continue to work. However, since you have the motor torn down, the cost of composite reeds is pretty low. If you can swing the $125, install them during the rebuild.

I appreciate what you're saying, but I can't justify $125 for a working part. "Pretty low" is a relative term, my friend. Anything over about $50 requires a 2/3rds vote of the neighborhood, an act of congress, and selling of some excess children in my house

I understand. Go ahead and sell some of the children. Maybe Chris will cut you a deal for giving him alot of advertisement from your rebuild post.

Haha, yeah he sure does seem to be getting alot of advertising in my thread. I'll go ahead and send him a bill when it's over, maybe we can work out a trade
