Does it work? Have you tried it yet? Show us the insides if you feel like it, i wonder if it's a reed valve..

It has very good comp, but it looks like reed valve doesn't close correctly. It runs rough. Any suggestions how to make a new reed?

Some folks say the disc material from a floppy disc makes a good reed, but you could probably use an .049 rebuild kit from Virginia Hobbysports ..$5...Rog
