Do v Force reeds make a difference?

Do v Force reeds make a difference?

What are the benefits of VForce reeds? A VForce reed valve system provides a boost in bottom end power, along with stronger mid-range and longer top-end power, while it also allows more airflow which ultimately means more horsepower.

How do I know if my snowmobile reeds are bad?

Hard starting is a symptom of low compression, and since chipped reed petals allow compression pressure out of the combustion chamber, it might take a few extra pulls on the recoil handle to fire the engine. Poor throttle response, also due to lack of compression, is another sign that reeds petals could be worn.

What is a snowmobile reed valve?

They are basic and can enhance performance simply because they keep the fuel in the engine. Simply stated, a reed valve is a one-way check valve that allows fuel to flow into the engine and then closes, making sure the fuel charge doesn’t spit back. The reed valve works off the engine’s internal pressure changes.

How much HP does v Force reeds add?

*Highly recommended for use on modified 800/900 twins the stock reed becomes the horsepower restrictor and by merely adding V-Force 3 you can realize up to an additional 10 horsepower.”

Do v Force reeds make a difference snowmobile?

Yes they do work but for the money I would put Boyesen reeds in that Storm. I’ve had Boyesen reeds in my 800 Storm and now have V-force-2’s. I can’t tell a diff between them. The Boyesen reeds look like they would last allot longer then the V-Force.

How often should you replace reed valves on a snowmobile?

They improve the engine’s fuel efficiency by helping to control the flow of the fuel/air mixture as it is pumped from the intake tract to the combustion chamber. Over time, these reeds lose integrity and need to be replaced. Reed valve petals wear down over time and should be checked every 15 to 20 engine work hours.

What do snowmobile reeds do?

The reed valve can be thought of as a check-valve to only permit a medium – in our case either a fuel and air mixture or just air in some injected sleds – to travel in one direction. When flow attempts to push through the intended direction, the reed opens against the block and allows flow.
