    Gap problem solved. 1 down, ? to go.

    OK, so I removed the set of reeds in question. On inspection I noticed a small dig or something on the spacer. I rubbed it on some fine sandpaper to smooth it out. Also straightened the binding plate with hammer on anvil. Re-assembled and it is now together proper. No spaces.

    Need to install the carb and finish the ignition updates. Then the "Lower Unit". Can’t wait to see this engine run.

    Thanks for the inputs everyone.
