G1 Reeds - should they look like this????
Do the reeds completely close when the engine is not running?
These are the reeds on my G1 and appear to be free of any obvious damage. It seems they are slightly open. When I push on them, they freely move and then spring back into place. Seems normal, am I correct? This was the final stage of troubleshooting a cart that had been running; placed in storage, and then started with old fuel and stopped running after 10 minutes. Now the unit won't run. At this point, we've...

Re: G1 Reeds - should they look like this????
They are supposed to be shut but I have seen them like that, they do close very easily right? They are very old is the problem, but not sure that is why it dont run. Normally if you choke it you can get them going and they run ok that way, all else being ok.
I would check the crank seals, that is common poor starting issue and it will still show compression on the top side. Look for oil or gas leaking out. Try to start it with lots of choke. They will run at higher rpm but idle suffers first with leaking seals. You can try to oil them might seal a little and get it running, but then you can't see leaks. And that might not be your issue just something to look at as they can dry out in storage and get worse than they were. If you have spark and fuel you need compression, and leaking seals make the engine not push the charge up into the cylinder at low rpm. |

Reeds should be fully closed. Take the screws out and slightly "bend them" to the closed position.
