    it is probably a “limit not to exceed” so the downstroke of the piston will be able to close the reeds shut ensuring the crankcase pressure will expel all burnt vapors from the cylinder via the cyl. exhaust ports instead of spitting it back out the carb face…should the reeds be opened up .

    the important aspect is that the reeds actually open to let the fresh fuel vapors into the crankcase and not back out.

    my understanding of it anyway….. so it looks like your reeds are fitted perfectly
