Reed Valves?

[Maine Ruffcut]

I have a Homelite 1130g with 4 reed valves that are slightly open, would say 1/16. But on my 1150 auto, they are closed. So I don't know if there are any specs that are exceptable. Thanx!

I would say they should be tight against the cage .I assume they are caged like the 2100 ? I've got the book some place ,I'll take a look see .

Fire it up, if it pops and snorts out the carb the reeds aren't seating . Those two saws mentioned should be 4 petal pyramids while the larger such as my avatar saw have 6 petal .I would have no idea where you could find replacement petals ,E-bay maybe ---more -

In rereading what it said they say the petals should be tight against the cage

I've had luck on the 925 series to flip the reeds upside down. But assure they are symmetrical and when I did that, they weren't open 1/16, more like 1/64-1/32. Just a little.
If you can't find new ones, this is what I would try. Or try and massage them straight once removed from the cage?

I did some checking and if I'm correct those are Homelite #59628
