    gotcha… well. sounds right.

    I have a 120hp merc/Force I’m going to be pulling some reed valves for inspection when the heat relents.
    and what I’ll do is to compression test before and during..

    If the reeds make zero difference to compression we will be able to confirm the reed effect!

    should reeds be touching the base at rest? or should there be a hairline gap?
