The reeds should be a snap to replace. Remove the carb and air box. The reed cage is right there.You pull the hole cage out. Once the reed cage is out you should be able to see how them come unscrewed. It should be very easy to do. Its just a matter how many things are blocking you to get in there.

Did you check to make sure your air filter and exhaust is not clogged up.

shouldn't beto hard... are you shure you are getting fuel, I had a petcock go bad on mine, and it wouold not let fuel through, they are vaccuum operated , you can swap them out for one on a Banshee, bolts right up and no more diaphram.
