Super Jet Help with reeds

[magic74]

Can someone tell me exactly what reeds do in my motor, where they are located and perhaps show me a photo of what they look like and where they located. thanks in advance!

they help control the fuel delievery in your motor. the open depending on the throttle position and amount of vacuum the motor is making.

They also atomize the fuel a bit instead of just dumping it through the intake manifold.

They are bolted to the intake manifold of your ski beneath the carbs.

Carbs are bolted to the intake manifold- reed blocks are bolted to intake manifold ( on the inside)- and reed petals are bolted/screwed ontop of the blocks. If you unbolt the intake manifold, you can access and examine the reeds.
