steeler2169 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) I took off my new vforce3 reeds and one of the petals is up alittle bit on the corner, enough you can see under it. What could happen with the petal up. They only have i ride on them.If any one has seen my other post I fouled out right side plug and got a knock, could this be the cause?

moneybags Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Sounds normal to me. Did you look at them befor you put them in. Mine came to me brand new like that... Quote
deckheight Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 Very well could be your problem??? Depends wether or not the petals are sealing under positive crankcase pressure. Warped petals, bent cages, etc. it happens sometimes... It is not uncommon for the petals to not sit perfectly tight against the cages when they are off the bike and being visually inspected either. With the air filters off and engine running... Do you have noticably more fuel "spitting" out the back of the right carb than the left carb? How do the left and right spark plugs compare? Is the right one noticably wetter before it fouls than the left? Your sure it is fuel fouling? The carbs are at least somewhat synced? Right plug still fouling when you swap the plug wires? Any reason to suspect a bad right crankcase seal? Quote
RollinRhino Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) Take a feeler guage and see if the gap is more than .020. If it is then you have a problem. A lot of reed setups are gapped but they should close and most often do. Edited March 22, 2009 by RollinRhino Quote
