I am just curious as to what affect worn reeds would have on performance? My sled is 5 miles away from 5,000 miles and reeds are original. I will go with OEM I had a new set of Boyeson reeds and made it run like crap so I put original ones back in.

worn out reeds will cause poor throttle response, richer running condition, and probably harder starting when warm. you'll need to crack the throttle more when starting a warm motor w/worn reeds.

Hey mopar1, sounds like you had an issue with reeds before?May I ask you mentioned richer condition,now at what part of the throttle does this or will occur? My 600's pto plug seems to get damp around the metal/threaded area which seems is fuel.The other two are dry,I'm trying to isolate the issue.My exhaust seems really rich smelling while cruising and I can hear the exhaust it sounds like a cylinder missing! Sound familair?
