Default The truth about reeds and reed cages!

Well, went to go take the good ole honda for a spin today without the airbox to do some jetting runs...jumped on it, about ready to kick it over trying to put it into 1st for a take off...nothing. No 1st gear. WTF?? Put it into neutral and fired it up...went to take off...got about 6 inches and it choked off. Running too rich for the weather? No. What gear am I really in here? Apparently "all the way down" is either my 5th or 6th gear. My tranny is so messed up or the shifting fork is screwed. I got ONLY that really high gear I cant take off in(5 or 6) and nuetral...fluid level was fine etc etc etc...what a pos!!! man, what a crappy day

Hey Ernie...what would happen if I ran a second spacer with these reeds?

Like if I went something like

gasket,12mm spacer,gasket,1/4 inch spacer,gasket, reeds

Do you think the air flow would slow down and cause loss or would I get
even better gain?

Pimp I would not try to increase the reed spacers thickness. The reason not to do this is because they are designed only for the spacer provided. I don't think there could be much more of a gain by doing this.

Is there a website that sells these "G3 Power Curve Reed Valves"? the only thing i can find is the mossbarger site.

Are these reeds actually mossbarger reeds?

After reading this thread i looked around on the internet looking for any other information these reeds and found nothing.

Somebody besides the two of you guys should be running these reeds if they are as good as whats been said.
