TS1 Reed Valve Tips

[Wee Mark]

Hello Gents
Fitting my first TS1 Kit(after 30 years Scootering) and never fitted a Reed Valve set-up, I have got a Yamaha Reed block(with spacer) and just need to know if there is anything I need to be careful of when fitting and what sealant if any if need to secure a good seal on these set-ups?

There's a host of propriety 'off the shelf' stuff you could use. Take yer pick really.
I use a 'Loctite product' that Gas fitters use on their gas threads on these gaskets very successfully.
(Sorry I cant remember the product number... Google it)
I've used "Bearing fit" as well, which seems to do the job.
Hobson's choice though.

i use yamabond, 3bond is the same stuff, its a bit rubbery and messy to use but gives a perfect seal, i wouldnt use anything else, it is designed to seal engine cases together that dont use a gasket, it also sets after being left and sticks the components together, its well worth the cost, ive used it on my last 4 engine builds with no leaks
