Reed valves are check valves. They either work, or don't work. Your engine is running. I would say they are working.

105 psi compression is good enough.

How wide is your drive belt? inch, and three sixteenths is new. (1-3/16"). Anything less than an inch is junk.

Grab the front plate on your driven clutch. Try to wiggle it side to side. It should not move.
Remove the belt first. Grab both plates with one hand, and try to squeeze them together. They should not move.

If the front plate wobbles side to side on the shaft, it is junk.
