    What is the symptoms of a bad reed valve?

    Ok I have been a 4 stroke guy all my life. Even though I do marine repair for a living I have never torn down a two stroke motor. I have always been curious how a bad reed valve reacts to a two stroke engine? Does it pop and fart out the carb like a burnt intake valve on a 4 stroke? Give me some examples./ I have been really lucky so far and never incounterd one and am not sure if I would know if an engine had a bad reed or not.


    I have not gotten into rebuilding engines because of the time frame in tearing one down and putting it back together. The time you spend on this you could be doing drives , lower gear cases, tune ups and such,


    Thanks Roger
