jason.perez Posted October 21, 2019 Report Posted October 21, 2019 Are reed spacers good to run on stock carbs and do they go before the reeds or after (stock reeds as well) prolly getting Boyesen reeds soon though. The guy before me was trying to run 34mm flat slides on this stock engine so there was some reed spacers on there and he siliconed them or somthing onto the front end of the reeds (jugs side) I was thinking of just removing them and getting new gaskets Suggestions ?

ginger Posted October 21, 2019 Report Posted October 21, 2019 Reed spacers only purpose for the most part is to allow clearance for bigger carbs. Quote

ginger Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 if your running stock carbs, yea, i would take them out, only thing they will do is give one more spot for a air leak. Quote
Deets Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 I thought reed spacers gave more “storage room” for atomized fuel mix. And added a hint of throttle response? we use to add them on our sleds back in the day Quote

Keno Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 They are only beneficial on some case induction motors (not Banshees) to space the reed tips away from the turbulence of the crankshaft to increase reed life. Or where the reed cages occlude a transfer port. Seadoo 951 motors need reed spacers, so chances are your Skidoo had a similar motor. Quote
Deets Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 Good to know, thanks fellas. I’ve got a lot to learn about banshee’s, so I’ll be hangin around askin stupid questions. Lol Quote
