peer agreement (net): +2reed valves Explanation: Reed valves are simply a one way valve. They let air or liquid pass one way and not the other. We usually see them in the intake track of a two stroke engine. When the piston of a two stroke engine goes down it compresses the fuel mixture in the crankcase and this can push some of the mixture back out the carburetor. A reed valve in the carb manifold will let the fuel mixture in but not out. This allows bigger ports be used. http://www.dansmc.com/reedvalve.htm |
