Re: OMC or AFTERMARKET REEDS???
I plan to rebuild my carbs in my '94 Johnson 115 hp. Would this be a good time to replace the reeds? If so, is it much harder than just rr the carbs? I'm a real dummy. I'm also intimidated by the link/sinq. process I'll have to do after rr the carbs. I've read the section on rebuilding carbs in the manyal about 6 times now and I feel pretty confident about that. Like I said, I'm a real dummy when it comes to this stuff.<br /><br />Mirko

<br /><br />I have seen some rpm pickup on a couple engines I installed them in, mainly smaller engines, 9.9/15 and a 60 I did picked up 300 solid rpms. So you may or may not pick up rpms. But the performance factor is enough to warrant them IMHO.<br /><br />Gas milage....I think it's there but you would have to be counting pints or quarts instead of gallons.<br /><br />Let me add one more thing about jetting, I had just re-done my 90hp when I installed the reeds. Went oversize .030 on bores. If I would have stayed at std. piston sizes and not re-done the whole engine, chances are I may have not needed to change out the jetting.
