wheeleymaster99 Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 i was wondering how far the reeds should close all the way? mine are not closeing all the way so i fliped the over and thry still dont they are v-force reeds and valves i dont rember how they were when i put them in so i'm not sure Quote
Screamin_Banshee Posted December 9, 2003 Report Posted December 9, 2003 I would assume all the way, mybe im wrong. How big/small is the gap that they when they are in the "closed" position? Quote
wheeleymaster99 Posted December 9, 2003 Author Report Posted December 9, 2003 the gap isent to big maby 4-5mm not a lot but i dont know if it will make a dif Quote
johngolfvr6 Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 there suposed to be closed all the way, And if yours are curled up on 1 corner the garbage 2, I just did mine and i had the same problem Quote
wheeleymaster99 Posted December 11, 2003 Author Report Posted December 11, 2003 ok cool i'm going to put my stock ones in and see if that fixes the problem Quote
MRMOONEY Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 ARE THE V FORCES FOR SELL? IF SO PM ME PLEASE I NEED A SET BAD Quote
wheeleymaster99 Posted December 11, 2003 Author Report Posted December 11, 2003 it depends i'll let you know cuz if the stock ones fix the prob most likely they will but if the stockones do the same thing i will put the v-forces back in but i'm putin the stock ones in tonight so i should know soon i'll let you know Quote
spoin39 Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 Why don't you replace the reeds on the V-forces? They are a little expensive but well worth it. $80-100 Quote
wheeleymaster99 Posted December 25, 2003 Author Report Posted December 25, 2003 yeah if i can find a pair that cheap i will do that Quote
bdrracing Posted December 25, 2003 Report Posted December 25, 2003 If your reeds do not close, hard starting is one of the first signs. What kind of problem do you have wheeleymaster99? I would not advise flipping them over... they can brake and end up in the motor.. munch, munch, yum, spit, Quote
wheeleymaster99 Posted December 25, 2003 Author Report Posted December 25, 2003 its been faouling the right plus after i ride it and let it cool down it will run fine but after i let it cool down it seems to faul 1 or both plugs so i put my friends rad valves and reeds in just to try and it seems to have helped it hasent fauled the plugs but still dosent run like it does on a new set and it starts fine inless the plugs are fauled which is %50 the time lol hope that made sence Quote
bdrracing Posted December 25, 2003 Report Posted December 25, 2003 Reeds that do not seat could disrupt the air flow in the intakes and cause havoc with your carb air fuel mix. There is some debate on if in fact the reeds even close at higher rpm’s but if new reeds solved your fouling problem, That must be it? Chronic spark plug fouling would have me thinking jeting and or a weak ignition. I will PM some info to you. Quote
wheeleymaster99 Posted December 25, 2003 Author Report Posted December 25, 2003 my jets are 290 main and 30 piolet and put a new ststor in cuz i heard that that might be it but dident help Quote
