    See the hole where the carb goes? Look in there. You can see the material changes from aluminum to brass. That brass piece is the reed block. It is a round piece, which goes completely around the crank shaft. The reeds open in the up and down directions, instead of fore and aft, like OMC.

    Long live American manufacturing!
