vforce 3 reed system install?

[tonywayne]

Just got my new read system im and im confused. The instructions are vauge. It came with and extra piece that resimbles the read cadge. the instruction say nothing about. And also the pic's show a lip that curlse up above the reads, mine doesnt have. Any help with this please

 

[stephen12091985]

that piece goes inside the reeds.and the other circle piece points the way the air will face when u put it on

u just have to cut off the rubber lip on the stock intake.....thats what the extra washers are for in the kit, bolt them together and cut down the gap

Hers a pic off it. link http://www.pjme.co.uk/acatalog/BLASTER-VFORCE3-REEDVALVE.jpg

the piece on the left slide into the cage.pint the point of the reed cage face down and then it slide in

yeah it is a little confusing, especially with an a/m intake, you do have to use that weird piece, or it lets too much air into it, here's what i ended up doing............

you need to cut the piece off that goes in to the intake boot

thanks for the link. With a read spacer which goes on first? The read cage then the spacer or do u put the spacer on first? For instance "which is closer to the carb the spacer or the read cage?

Reed cage is closer to carb, spacer sits against head intake, closest to motor.

FYI
On another note, reed spacers are controversial and the VForce 3 system is designed to run just the way it is, swapped in, no spacer needed.

 

[yb200]

yeah you will loose power with a spacer

hey I would strongly advise you to use a little black RVT gasket maker on both sides of the gaskets and the reed cage, bolt it up, let it dry and wah-lah YOUR AIR LEAK FREE! Those v3's like to leak for some odd reason....

Well the guy befor me had the spacer on last ( closes to the carb ). The spacer was on so the cluch would clear the carb. Will it clear it with the V3 and spacer off?

yes i run vf3 and a 34mm with no spacer, stock carb should fit no problem....34mm just twust the carb a little

 

[blasterfreek30]

i also just fit my 35mm on with no reed spacer, its close but doesnt hit

yuppers, i really didnt think it would fit without the reed spacer, but worked good...

mine is so close to the clutch arm i might be able to slide a sheet of paper in between

Im getting goog feedback here so ill ask this Q. How do i tell wich way the right side crank seal goes on? I tore the old on up to bad getting it off and didnt think to look at it good befor i riped it out.

 

[blasterfreek30]

the seal will go in with the flat side facing u, the side with the spring in it faces in towards the crank

 

[tonywayne]

Both sides have springs in it and both sides look flat to me.
