troyminator Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 I am hoping that somebody can explain why four gaskets are supplied with the reeds. There are two different ones...do they both need to be installed? Is one an inner and one an outer? Thanks in advance! T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23champ Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Two for each carb. One goes in front of the reed cage, the other goes behind it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shee_Man Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 also just to make sure... you have to cut the plastic "fins" that come out of the intake manifold right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.J. Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 also just to make sure... you have to cut the plastic "fins" that come out of the intake manifold right? Yep, the kit should come with some flat washers, bolt the intake manifold to the new reed cage with the washer in between the two as a spacer, then use a blade in the narrow gap to cut the rubber off.

troyminator Posted August 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 I believe that is only if you are running stock intake manifolds. My intake manifold doesn't have any material protruding into the cage area. Thanks, T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomey Banshee Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Look to lower your needle a notch, raise the clip. I have a ported shee as well and threw on some V-Force, sputtered in the middle, raised the clip 1 notch and the thing friggin flys!! Good improvement for a ported motor.

My intake manifold doesn't have any material protruding into the cage area. Thanks, T Is it worth upgrading the manifold? The passages are tiny and tons of rough plastic edges killing a nice smooth venturi flow. If so... what's the best bang for the buck manifold? -Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomey Banshee Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 New manifolds? I personally dont think its worth the chedder. Keep your mainfold and file down the rough spots if it bothers you, although I really dont think it matters. I have V-Force on my Shee, my sons shee and my youngest sons' ( THE maniac) blaster, great improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 I got a nice billet manifold off ebay brand new and HEavily Polished. it also eliminated teh crossover tube. It was about $80. I think I have the guys email who makes them if your interested PM me. the advantage with aftermarket intakes is that you can swap the rubber boots for different carb sizes. and it looks cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
