I just blew a set of Chris Carsons reeds after maybe total of 4 hrs since installed. Would would be the best reeds to install ?
Thanks for any help.

Factory. Glass and carbon reeds do not last like factory reeds, 4 hours is very good ... often 1 is all you get.
Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.
I have 20 some years old Boyesen reeds in a 75hp Johnson that I didn't see the need to change after inspecting them. Motor runs and idle real good. I'll be testing a set of
C. Carson reeds this summer on another project outboard motor, hope they are half as good.

I have 4 seasons of hard racing on a set of dual stage reeds in my modified 75hp omc and they still look great. I also have a set of Chris Carson reeds in my 44xs that have 1 season on them and they look perfect. I did change the Carson reeds for this season, but only because Chris claimed the newer ones that I put in will perform better. Not sure why, but to-date, I trust Chris's word.
Not sure why some folks only get a season, or less, out of theirs??
lean missfire will break them as will big crankcase compression
well i can honestly say that my chris carson reeds have done more than 4 hrs....
Ive tried Boyesen 2 stage in a 31.8 OMC crossfire, they held up fine but were no speed secret. I did read that misfires will break them & its recommended to rich-n the mixture. I'm going to try Carlsons single stage soon but will have a backup stock plate ready to go in. From messing with damper bend I know reeds with less tension can be a nice power increase.
do the chris carson have any for 30hp 3cylinder yamaha?
