Reed spacer

[blasterdad]

When I took my topend apart my reed spacer was between the the reed cage & the carb boot. Looked at one on E-bay & it said it went between the jug & the reeds. Which way is correct? I don't trust the $hit I read on there!

depends on why you need a reed spacer, what are you trying to correct? are you trying to add crank case volume???

It was on it when I got it. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't hurt my new topend the way the previous owner installed it.

if i'm not mistaken, i read once that the 2 different positions will do different things, one increase low end, the other top end, ???neither way will hurt anything

Thanks guys!, It ran like a raped ape so I'm gonna leave it the way it was. B)

the way it was will help top the end. Then between the reed cage and motor will lower your power band curve. spacers also come in differnt thicknesses like 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch
