    Yeah. I'm definately buying myself a nice new carb as soon as I get this X project out of the way. All my money is being eaten by that two-eyed beast right now.

I put it all back together after doing what Billy said, and she started like a dream. Now it seems to sound a little louder (probably because there isn't any liquid in there to dampen the sound, and it seems to have quite a bit more power. Does this sound right? I was riding today, and when I popped it into 3rd and gunned it, it pulled the front wheel about a foot or so off of the ground. It would never do that before. The most it would ever do when I put it into 3rd and went WOT is extend the front forks.. the front wheel would never come off of the ground.

    And how can I tell if my reeds are stock or aftermarket?

    Those look like aftermarket reeds to me and possible boysen reeds and there are no reed stops on that cage either,

    Does having no reed stops mean that the reed cage is aftermarket?
    I'm trying to get into this whole 2 stroke world now that half of my trikes are 2 stroke.. lol.



    Here is a picture of the back of the reed cage if it helps anything..
