Just Put My Vforce Reeds On!

[SheeHog]

Hey Guys,

I just installed my reeds on my Shee and what a freaking difference those things make!!!

 

I had my neighbor take her for a spin..he's a big boy, 6'2, 250 min. He couldnt keep the front on the ground...I was laughing the whole time:)

 

I just put in new plugs b/c it kinda sputters when you first get going...New plugs didnt help...still sputters until you get up to 3-4000 rpms then it wakes up.

 

I am running 290's with T4's and I am right around 500ft from sea level...I was always fowling plugs before without the reeds so I figure i need to jet down but I am not sure what to run because everyone here seems to run like 300 or 320's....its also idleing a lot lower now and sounds like it barely stays running.

 

what have most of you experienced when putting new reeds in?

Thanks

Reeds will richen the mixture from idle to 3/4 throttle. You could have gotten the same gains by raising the needles. What are you running for a pilot?? Sounds like they might be rich..
