Fishermen know there's more to outboard performance than just going fast.
Every two-cycle outboard has them. But the stock reeds in your outboard have a single-stage design that limits their efficiency. That's why stock outboards often cough and sputter at idle, fail to deliver a good hole shot, feel boggy or lifeless under throttle application, burn too much fuel or lack top-end punch. Plus, standard reeds are made of metal. Should one break, it could cause extensive damage to your outboard.
