09 M8 OVS T Reed Problems

[Forty2chev]

09 M8 OVS Aurocharger 66mm
110 sunco fuel
Typicaly 12 lbs boost
Boondocker rider - On and off boost

Having problems with destroying reeds. I purchase the OVS Aurocharger 66mm in 09 and have it on my M8 Snowpro.
The first season I used it all season on one set of reeds 900 miles. The next year I replaced them every 400 miles because of going bad. This year I put on the reed savors and they lasted 50 miles. The first 20 miles I had it at 6lbs boost because I just put in new pistions. the next 30 miles I had it at 10-12 pounds. I am a boondocker and maybe on boost 5 seconds at a time. Brand new reeds with 50 miles and this is what they look like. Its the bottom side on both that are cracking or breaking out?

My riding hasn't change from the first year to this year.

Could it be my dump?

How can I fix my problem?

Thanks

Try the Boyesen turbo reeds they hold up pretty well till you get over 20lbs

Forty, what were your egt temps or afrs? Was there a change from the first 900 miles?

so with your reeds in that condtion, what is the result of your bottom performance, reason im asking is , i installed the stops when i installed my ovs kit and i have a bad lean bog , sometimes it will even stall from engament, so maybe my reeds are toast as well. when this happens i can see on the afr that mixture goes full lean of the scale.

When I loose my reeds I have no bottom end and my AFR goes into the 15-16 range with no control even adding fuel. Usually one side goes then I am not getting accurate readings because the cylinders are not equally burning.

Hope someone knows what I can do to fix the problem.

Typical AFR readings 14.2 Green, 13.7 Orange, On Boost Full 12.5

Boyesen reeds - can you just buy the pedals that work with OEM cages and OVS reed stops? Or do you have to purchase their reeds and cages?
