I've been running stock 800 reeds all year, but I noticed the last couple of rides my sled has been hard starting when cold and a little spongy on the response. Is that typical behavior for a chipped reed? How are the Boyesen reeds for response compared to stock and are they the whole cage system or just the petals?

What are some signs of broken or chipped reeds? Ive just bought a M8 rg turbo and had VOHK set up the boondocker box and have yet to see snow with it, but ran it in the grass a bit. Off idle seems blubbery or way to fat until about 5k then it pulls hard! It idles great,mid sucks,top end good. Should I be pulling the reeds or just working on the fuel curve?

It's possible. Pre-season is the best time to check them out, and start with a fresh set IMO.

Well just did all my preseason checks an fixes. Sent the cam in an the boysen turbo reeds still look brand new after a whole season. So glad I don't gotta dig into the motor already this year.
Boyesen Turbo Reeds
What are these "boyesen turbo reeds" people are using? On the boyesen website I only see "power reeds" "carbon tech" "rage cage" and "super stock". I haven't been able to find anything in their descriptions indicating specific turbo applications. What reeds are you labeling "turbo"?

I just put some in my sled to replace their regular carbon reeds I had in before. I have about 350km on mine and they work flawlessly, My exact setup is their rage cages, with their turbo reeds, and then reed stops. I had to email them directly for the reed stops and turbo reeds. I cant remember exactly what they are made of because I through away the packaging. For more info you need to talk to them directly, they are much stiffer then the carbon ones I had in before.
I have a used set to medium tension carbon tech reeds f/s.. I used them double stacked over the stock m reeds. Now am running a double stacked 1000 reed cut 7/8 inch off and only on the bottom side. top sides are the m1000 reeds. we'll see how it goes this year..

anyone want to try radial reeds !!!! LMAO

reeds reeds and more reeds
AC M7 bored to 8 13psi 100LL 6000'
I have used:
Stock 4 petal w stops any where from a few rides to a season.
Boyesen Power reeds w/o stops usually a season good response.
Carbon Tech hi tension w/o stops. Poor low end fueling/response. 2 rides & starting to fray.
Doubled up 1000 reeds no stops 2 rides & starting to fray.
I just installed Gus' recommended
stock 4 petal doubled with OVS stops good throttle response. I will be back to edit post after a few rides.:face-icon-small-win:clock:

OVS reed stops with M1000 reeds or boyesen turbo spec reeds.
Been running stock M8 reeds with stock stops. Last for a few rides to half a season before the corners would start chipping. Just put in Boysen turbo petals with stock stops. We'll see how they do. 07 M8 w/ Cutler stage 2, running 10 lbs on straight 100ll.

Don't forget Carbon Tech reeds. I believe the previous volumes of this thread spoke highly of those as well. I will have to go back and reread them.

Im telling yall, Stock HO reeds, blocks, and stops, with non ho reeds doubled up on the bottom is $$$$
M
blocks?
T
Reed blocks out of an HO motor. They openings are more rounded than square. The HO reeds are thicker than the non HO. I feel the setup listed above is the best compromise for durability and response. In fact, I believe it gives up nothing in terms of bottom end response, but the durability increase I have found has been impressive.
