Flip Boyeson Reeds over ?

[Poolman]

Hi Guys,

 

I have my topend apart getting redone. My Boyeson reeds have been in the Banshee for 1 1/2 years. They look good, No chipping, Cracking, and seal good. They have never been flipped over.

 

Question, Should I flip them over and if so Do you flip both the carbon fiber piece and the clear piece or what ?

 

Thank You !

I went ahead and flipped the reeds. Stayed up all night working on the Banshee. I knew I was off work today so what the Hay.

 

Putting the Carb's on now. These things are easy once youve stripped one down to the frame and put it all back together, fun too.

My expierence with Boyesen reeds is that when you flip them over they will crack and break off very quickly. I did it once and they broke on the second day of riding after I did it. I would go back in and change them back to their original position. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, Wow, I'm glad I havn't put the carbs back on yet and glad I read this post.

I will flip the reeds back tomorrow,

Thanks !

pull them back and push on them to check for spidering as well. GL

After 5 years, I would just replace them.

Don't cheap out and risk sucking a reed through the motor.
