    In an effort to chase down a small throttle opening engine stumble I replaced the stock reeds with a set of the boyesen power reeds and have much luck with these. Seems the stock ones are one piece reed petals while the boyesen are two piece (small feed on top of a larger reed). Now when I'm cruising along around 35 ~ 40 mph and transition from trailing throttle to barely any throttle the engine no longer stumbles. May I get your opinions as to brands/styles of reeds for the 360?

    Likewise, felt no change when l went with Boyesen's expect that the reed screw holes are really soft so don't over tighten:p
