do any of you clean up and polish the reed housings to get better air flow ...
i.e unrestricted due to the horrid castings with razor sharp rough edges being cleaned up.
just a thought, as every little bit helps, ive seen people polish some crazy stuff to get a bit extra.

like I said,the reeds were sitting about .060 off the reed block,i remember last time I did a comp test the motor made a croaking sound back out the carbies with the old reeds in it...it is what it is .i'm happy with the new ones.

I polished my reed block ,It can't hurt.

that's a little bit different than i thought it would be.. thanks looks like it will work

[pdt]

how much different is that to the normal one ?

and what gains are you hoping for with this one ?

got a question,, if your motor is running wide open say at 7000 rpms are the reeds closing and shutting at every stroke,, are r they hung open???

[pdt]

this should be an interesting answer

[fs5]

some say they open and close every cycle and some say when you reach a certain rpm they stay open???personaly I wouldn't have a clue..

this is a bit off topic,but would trimming the bottom of the sleeve on the intake side back to the block ,help the motor flow better?
