reed stuffers

<< < (2/3) > >>

Goat:
Stuffing up the reed eliminates air turbulence, creating maximum airflow, improved velocity to the intake ports, and allows the engine to pull more fuel through bottom and mid range rpm (carb signal); thus producing crisp throttle response and increased bottom and mid power.

I know this is an old post but...
My motor didnt have one in it. And i really dont see it on any microfiche. Did certain years not have them?
Does anyone on here have one that they  wanna part with?
Thanks!

sandblaster:
What size and year is your engine?

whitedog:
Sorry about that. 87 kx 500 stock reed cage

sandblaster:
Yep, there is a reed block on the 87.
