Title: Reed Valve mounting
Post by: tmc3c on February 23, 2004, 06:09:22 PM
When installing your reed valve assy. into the 1982 cylinder is there a gasket that mounts between the cylinder and the reed valve assy.? My drawings show none but it shows it from a different angle and doesn't show that view. Thanks Guys !
