The Reed value is under the carb. Remove the plastic manifold the carb is mounted to and you will see the reed value. The value opens towards the engine so don't bend it any more the 1/8" or an inch. You only want to remove some tension from the reed value so it will open up a little more when the vacuum is created. This will along more full into the cylinder providing more power. I would get the cut down fly wheel from Peter along with the other parts. Peter makes sure they are balanced once they have been cut down. I would also spend the extra $25.00 and get the muffler Peter sells for this engine. It will give you about 300 more RPM over the stock muffler.
