[QUOTE="RM_guy, post: 1333909, member: 20652"] Not quite. Reeds that don't seal well or have cracks will allow blow back when trying to start and a loss of power in the low end of the power band. Blow back prevents the fuel from flowing up into the combustion chamber and that's why it is hard to start. You will also see a loss of low end power. The gap we are referring to is between the reeds and the reed cage. They naturally rest against the cage and should be sprung against the cage fairly tight. If they are shiny as you say then they have been in there for a while and the spring has weakened too much. They open and close a lot and will wear out over time even if they aren't cracked. [/QUOTE]
