bad reeds?please help
#1
i have a 1995 blaster and i was riding it when i missed a gear all of a sudden and reved it so high that i broke of the exhaust skirt on the piston. I rebuilt it and it runs great but it wont idle. I have adjusted the screws and everything. it seems stumble if you lower the rpm and then it just dies. if you keep it reved a little it will run fine. I then took the reeds out and they are not chipped or missing or anything but none of them are laying flat. they are all sitting open just a little bit, is this normal?
