When you check your reeds make sure that the pedals are laying flat on the reed block.
If there is any gaps disassemble it and ultra clean it.
If after assembling it and there is still gaps, get a new one.
Make sure there are no cracks or chipped edges.
Check here on making a leak down tester.

motopunk:
good idea to check the reeds. just dont thought of it  :wink:...with damaged reeds it sounds like it soak to much gas...

how was your bike running, before you dropped it into in the flood-water??  have you also cleaned the airfilter??

J.ellwanger:
my bike was running like it was new off the show room floor,
 started on first kick every time!
 put it in gear, and then soon be wondering where the road went, as your pointed towards the sky.

 so damaged reeds, it would soak up gas? like pull to much through the cage?
 and i have completely cleaned the air filter, and oiled it again.
 
 I'm gonna pull the reed cage to day,

J.ellwanger:


i dont see how the reed could be my issue?  :roll:


   um soo..... do i need to pull motor and search for the broken reed? or would that have shattered and blown out?

sandblaster:
I'm sure it's long gone by now  :-D
At least you have a good idea of the problem now and it's a easy, relatively cheap fix..
