Carb problems

<< < (2/2)

Extreem:
Where did the missing chunk of reed go ?   Could it pass through the cylinder without causing damage ?

Friar-Tuck:
  Sometimes, yes... They'll get sucked in and blown out. sometimes they get stuck in the crankcase and wait to be extracted at re-build.
   Usually the carbon fiber or fiberglass will just get chewed up and spit out.   In the old days the stainless reeds may have done a bit more damage!

And not trying to be a weeinie, but if you have issues like that again, and have to tear into the head, I would suggest that you may as well tear into everything else intake related (pull the carb, reeds, manifold, etc.) and check everything...
