Default RE: New to the 1/5 scale RC world

Teamchrome: I Read about the bolt on reed valve by o'neail brothers.....I think the tiny hole in the cylinder is blocked by the
hardware for the reed valve..when you first get the pulse for the carb to work the diafram for the fuel flow...So now with this bolt-on-reed valve
you have a giant pulse that the reed causes...will suck in more fuel/air mixture ...thus going to make for smoother bottom end as well as mid range..
Reed Valves works best with head that had some porting work done to the intake for smoother flow of fuel and air mixture....And you want to have porting work done
to the exhaust port to get rid of the burnt exhaust......Hope I explained this correct....Maybe some one else has some thing to add too this......

As too the weather here..projected 50* degrees and rain..next 2 days....I am just waiting for christmas to be over with...
