Hello,<br />Does anyone have experience with Boysen Reeds? Would they help my 89' Merc 100? Are they worth it?<br />Thanks in advance, <br />Little Bear
I have used the Boyesen reeds for years. They really help in higher RPM motors. They also allow a smoother transition through the RPM range. The only thing that kills them is a lean idle condition. Also on cold starts make sure you prime (choke) the motor to keep the reeds wet.<br /><br />Good luck!
<br />Also, they are made of composites,so when a reed is injested into the intake,it justs chewed-up and spit-out, wereas the stock metal reeds do the chewing and spitting.<br /><br />------------------<br />Sandbar? Sandbar? I don't see no stinking sanDBARRRrrrrr!!!
