EFITTING
THE
REED
VALVE
- To refit the reed valve, proceed in the reverse order to
dismantling, paying special attention to the correct posi-
tioning of the height limiter and the reed (with the bevels
matching). The elimination of the height limiter and the
type of reed used will modify the performance of the en-
gine and may make it less reliable.
- Check the reed cage O-ring and replace it if damaged.
Fit a new seal.
