Re: Boyesen reeds on a 1981 Johnson 70 hp?
Thanks Dhadley,Wombat, And Hightrim for the help.
I went on the Boyesen site, but couldn't find anything where it talked about the main/high speed jet. I found this info on the FAQ page:

Q: Aren't Boyesen Power Reeds strictly for racing outboards?
A: No! But because our reeds have been proven in thousands of hours of outboard racing, you can rest assured they'll perform great in your fishing outboard, no matter its horsepower. Boyesen Engineering has earned the title, "World's Leader in 2-Stroke Induction Technology." Let us put this technology to work in your outboard!

Q: How come the leading bass pros don't endorse Boyesen Power Reeds?
A: Because the B.A.S.S. Tournament Trail* prohibits the use of anything but a box-stock outboard. But if you're among the thousands of bass boaters who don't fish the pro circuit, you can enjoy the smoother idling, faster hole shot, increased acceleration and improved fuel economy that only Boyesen Power Reeds can deliver!

Q: Can Boyesen Power Reeds harm my outboard?
A: Absolutely not! In fact, Boyesen Power Reeds are safer in your outboard than stock metal reeds. If a metal reed breaks, it can destroy your engine. But should a Boyesen Power Reed fail, due to its glass and epoxy construction it would go through your outboard like paper through a shredder, causing no damage to your engine's expensive internal parts.

Q: Are Boyesen Power Reeds easy to install?
A: Anyone with a little mechanical aptitude and hand tools can install Boyesen Power Reeds, or your outboard mechanic can do it for you at a reasonable price. Plus, Boyesen Engineering has a toll-free number and technicians on duty to answer any installation questions or offer assistance.

Q: Can Boyesen Power Reeds help my older-model outboard run better?
A: Over time, stock metal reeds can become worn or frayed, resulting in a loss of crankcase pressure and a decline in performance. Installation of Boyesen Power Reeds, together with a fresh set of spark plugs and gaskets, can make your older outboard run better than it did when it was brand new. No wonder fishermen tell us, "Boyesen Power Reeds breathe life into tired outboards!"

Q: Can Boyesen Power Reeds improve performance on smaller outboards as well as those big V-6's?
A: Y ou'll feel the difference in every outboard, no matter how big or small, when it's equipped with Boyesen Power Reeds! We manufacture the right reeds for most outboards from 9.9 to 300 hp. Smaller outboards equipped with Power Reeds idle and troll more smoothly, burn less fuel and have more punch when you bury the throttle. It's technology every fisherman can appreciate!

Q: Are Boyesen Power Reeds guaranteed?
A: Yes! Boyesen Power Reeds carry a written one-year warranty from date of purchase. If our reeds fail, and it's our fault, we'll replace them free - it's that simple! (Race boats and improper installations are excluded.)

Q: I'm a commercial fisherman and depend on my outboard for my livelihood. Can I trust Boyesen Power Reeds in my engine?
A: Boyesen Engineering guarantees Power Reeds for one year from the date of purchase, even in commercial fishing applications. Your Boyesen-equipped outboard will perform more efficiently, deliver significant fuel savings, and help you do your job better over the long haul.
