If the engine is really far out of time you could get kick back through the reeds. It couldn't happen on its own though. Someone would have to have really messed up the timing adjustments. Or, the reeds you are putting in are defective.

Re: 25hp tohatsu

do they bust right away or after use for a day? are you installing them per direction?maybe you are tighten the screws too much?I had mine out all day yesterday and it runs great with the new reeds.

Good thing that I saved the old ones. If mine breaks I would put them back and if I was you I would go back to the original reeds good luck.I wonder if any one else having the same issue?

FWIW, the factory reeds do seem to be more durable, and the aftermarket reeds don't seem to gain much.
