Default Re: reeds for a 2cycle

Used to be boysen made reeds for near anything, but hard to say about this. Not sure they will give much power they usually don't, usually they make a 2 stroke run a little more 'crisp' and may give a little more power just hard to notice.

However another issue is how old these carts are, and so the reeds may not be in good condition at all. I worked on a G1 where the reeds sat there open, I could not believe it still ran. They should be closed at rest. In that case replacing them might help the engine a lot more, and often boysens are not much more in cost anyway.

Unfortunately most golf cart engines are very hard to modify to get any meaningful power increase....and why there is a large big block section here.
