2 stroke engine power reed info: (works on outboard engines/ motorbikes, mowers & my brush cutter. hope this helps (Google- boysen reeds)

Reeds are one-way valves controlling the amount of air/fuel mixture entering the crankcase of your outboard engine, then sealing it in to prevent it from escaping. Every two-cycle outboard has them. But the stock reeds in your outboard have a single-stage design that limits their efficiently. 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.
