If your reed valve is just standing up off its seat at rest, you turn it over.

If the reed valve vane is split, you will have to make a new one. If it is metal, you can get shim stock from McMaster-Carr and cut a new one.

The fiber glass reeds comes from http://www.boyesen.com/

Do you need just the reeds or the whole molded assembly? Reeds are easily replaced.
