The reeds look fine to me.The boot is shot.You can force the carb in it farther .But its really hard to do alot of force pushing it in..You need a new boot. It would be so much easier for you. If its leaks it could blow it up from being lean.I say your crab is super dirty and the jets or air ways are pluged up.Im going to make a video later today of carb cleaning for you on my youtube .obdwv is my user name on youtube.
