How much will they help

[spw1993]

I have a 1979 IT175 and I thinking about getting boyeson reeds for how much will they help the powere and where will they help it Top,Mid, or bottom end

I put them on my '82 IT175J - significant increase in power across the powerband. Definitely a good/inexpensive investment!

Just put a set in my 79 YZ 125. They fit right in, but still having jetting issues as I went from a 32 mm carb to a 34 mm. Aside from playing with jets, everything seems ok so far

fatboy570, try a main #360, or #370. Pilot #70, or #65 and the fule screw/air screw 1 1/4 turns out.

Thanks 2 strokes. Im at 360 main right now,needle in 3rd position, cant remember what the pilot is, maybe a 50. Its getting better, gonna get a 340 and 350 main this week before the next race

Ok, i tried the reeds and it seems to take away some bottom end snap for a better top end pull. I like them but the jetting probably needs to be cleaned up a bit.
