I have read a bunch a threads on the stock reed spacers being too thick (3/8"). The effect of the thick spacer causes a low end stumble and lack of throttle response.

I was wondering if anyone has tried milling the stock spacers down (instead of purchasing new ones) to 1/4"? I have a buddy that could shave the stock ones down for me for free.

Is the shorter spacer excatly 1/4" (.25)?

Seriously nobody?????

.......OK......then where do I purchase the high tech 1/4" spacers? (I already know about Big John's TT kit) just looking for alternatives.

These guys have good prices but don't know how reliable they are as I've never used them: http://dtdyno.com/shop/Snowmobile/reeds/

Ya, guy I know milled his down himself. No difference than boughten ones. Take them down to 1/4", same thing.

If I had the means to mill them I would. I bought some for 20.00 instead

I put the narrow reed spacers in an '05 with Boyeson reed petals and the machine runs worse. It now has more of a flat spot in lower mid range, (maybe a bad reed). It never made it more responsive, lost some of the snap. '05 800 Summit with CPI pipe and can. I had ther pipe and can on before the spacer change and the thing worked!!
