Think about it, two strokes are big weedeater motors, them things have to BREATH and move gas to move oil to lubricate everything.
Boysens fiber reeds was always a great choice in my opinion and well worth the bones relative to sucking a metal reed and having a motor hand grenade on you

Every class I raced required us to re-install the reed stops. We had a maximum red stop height measurement. The only advantage to the fiber reed was preservation of the engine but, the fiber reeds were not as quick as the steel reeds. Sooo, I ran the steel reeds in my engines. Broke one reed in 10 years of racing, still finished the race. We didn't exactly run the same fuel most fishermen are using. Of course I checked the reeds after every heat and kept a box of replacements on the race trailer.
