Hooah, I dont think there is any matching to be done on the stock cyl. unless you want to be very fussy. with the after market ones there is some to be done. once you get the ex. cleared you will notice a hell of a difference, that is why your cyl. is over heating. If you can, use a synth. or semi synth oil, mine costs $17.50 per litre and using 250ml per 10 litres of fuel.

 Ha! Lost in some research. IT says they are 10.4 mm I didn't mic them but appear to be = to stock width maybe a hair thicker not much I'll get the inch readings .014  and are the same as the stock but carbin fiber. Ha! if ya double them up they will be the same as mine.(It could be done)

 It do seem  thin.I know for awhile in the dirt bike world they were useing doubled up reed sets and 2 stage sets, What do you need to send pics. I have no cell phone (I'm old school that way) and a cheap basterd  ;D . I worked as a tech for some time and was on call 24/7 hated the leash!!! Never again!

Ahh, thet's good to hear, small job, big results. With regard to the reeds, your stock ones are stainless steel and are therefor thinner, when zombie said 30thou he was talking about fbre reed material. Apparently you can get the material in varying thicknesses and zombie suggested .030 as the best selection. If you were going to get your cylinder worked on, I would consider going to a larger kit, it probably wouldn't cost much more, in america you are lucky, more choice, less cost. When I was having trouble with mine I sent email to MHR and he replied with a quote of $121 for a cylinder kit and shipping
to Australia $126. Give it a go bat, you will like it, just be careful which one you buy.

  Hay sid noticed you mentioned some crazy quotes for a topend. Check out sip for some great deals I get almost all my stuff there now. They are located in germany and shipping to the states has been real reasonable and pretty damn fast no more than 5 days to west coast of the u.s. if in stock. Don't know about down under but there prices may make up for it. My faverite shop for after market stuff. Kinda a pain in the arse to navigate and half is in german,but once you get the hang of it you'll get some of the best prices in the world.  check it out  http://www.sip-scootershop.com/EN/Products/M319987/Racing+cylinder+72cc+MALOSSI.aspx
