Farmer Ted- Let me see if I got this right... at high rpm, those reeds are open fully, but not to let any fuel in... just air?? If thats the case, couldnt I just ...in theory, weld the reed covers shut...then make a new intake..a.k.a. heat dam and fit a carb off of my 33cc homelite saw motor to it an it should run ok?? maybe open the intake port some( it seems kinda small) OR how about I make a new intake that would use my homelite carb and still use the reed system so at high rpm I would be dumping fuel into those ports for even more power??I know Im rambilng on but its late and now my brains ticking..
