[QUOTE="DaisyCutter, post: 428208, member: 21901"] I have a lot of experience with 2-stroke motocross bikes, not so much outboards. OEM reeds work great, I never liked the aftermarket. Also make sure there are no air leaks at the intake. Multitudes of 2-stroke engine problems are caused by leaky crank seals. I've replaced a lot of crank seals in my day, and once I started replacing crank seals regularly, all the burned and seized pistons stopped happening, the smoking was cut down, jetting made sense, and everything was right in the world. Good seals are critical. [/QUOTE]
