Although I was now ready to fit the Reed Valves, Stuffers, Gasket and Manifold/Insulator, I had previously inspected the Reed Valves and one had a slight gap in one of the Reed Petals which needed to be sourced & sorted first.
Note: A bit difficult to get a good camera shot of the gapping, holding it up against the sunlight hopefully you can just make it out. I would have tried a torch behind it, but I ran out of hands I’m afraid.
Dismantle offending Reed Valve Petals.
Re-fitting the new Petals sourced from WEBIKE, it’s ok to re-fit the screws using the existing spring washers apparently, however, I must own up to putting the very slightest of dabs of Loctite 243 on the threads to make sure.
