Hi guys. Just recently took off reeds on my 1e40qmb minarelli scoot. However, notice that the gasket paper under the reed is sticking on the crank side leaving some residue. Is that normal? M just scared to scrape it off and residue will drop down the crank. Any help appreciated thanks

Stuff some paper towels in the crank case before cleaning the gasket material up. Some use gaskets, some use sealant, some use both, pick your poison. I use sealant only and don’t have trouble with leaks.

What sort of sealant do you use? And is it not that difficult to prime off when due for changing reeds? Thanks for the advise

Anything that is fuel safe will be fine.

orange rtv comes off easiest as its like a rubber band black is a lil stickier but permatex ulra grey is the bees knees.

I used permatex ultra grey in my full engine rebuild. Still leak free and running like a monkey's uncle to an all you can eat banana buffet.
