[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 209209, member: 315"] took me two hours to change the reeds. could have done it in much less if I would have been smart enough to remove the lower cowel. It ate reeds twice actually. The dealer was dumb enough to put metal reeds back in it when they changed the first set. This was with the prior owner. For 1200 hours and eating reeds twice it is in amazing shape actually. When I got it it ran like shit. Found the broken reeds and also found a plug that wasn't screwed in all the way. Was only about 3/4 inserted. Threads were fubar so I had to chase the threads. Ran 90% better after that. Just could never get rid of the miss at idle. It's on a 2000' pro-v 1900 which due to the engine running sketchy I got for $7500. So I can afford to do whatever I need to do to the motor. I actually figured I'd have to tear into it right away. Ended up running it for 2.5 years and could have ran it much longer just decided I wanted to do it before it grenaded and blew the block. I'm gonna have $2000-2500 in this but a new motor costs 16K plus. That's a staggering difference. Actually the modern day motors are easier to deal with because you have electronic everything. No carbs to mess with, no timing to piss with etc. They just look scary because of all the crap bolted to it. But it's just that, bolted to it. Just unbolt it and set it aside. [/QUOTE]
