    Frank is correct, But to check easy is hold the reed block up to a light to look for excess clearance between the block & reed it’self. If it is leaking light it is too loose to use. Keep in mind a small clearance is sealed by the oil/gas mix. The upper reed is also a stop keeping the reed valve from opening too much & breaking. Been out of touch but hope this helps.
