Looks like heat deformed it, but I dunno how it gets so hot at the intake. Backfire was a thought. I've had that bend back metal reed stops before.

Probably happened when you shut it down.

Dunno?
All ive got to go on so far is the splash of race fuel that i put into the tank. It never got that hot to my knowledge?..
Didnt backfire.
These reeds are supposed to be ok in alcohol so i assumed a splash of race fuel would be fine too?

I haven't had much luck with those reedblocks either...    The rubber went saggy and fell off, no strange fuels or anything. Did make it run rather rough! |

The resin in those reeds obviously didn't like th' 'zotic drank u gave ol' skeedr. |

I did replace the reeds with the other set that comes in the kit. Also put the stops back on the cage.
No problems yet....

Maybe they are making a cheaper version now?
Keeping FIRMLY in mind: Stage6 has no manufacturing facilities.... everything is batch manufactured in China, so the cheapest bidder gets the contract: quality control? What's that?

Again Reg, this is not from Skeedr. Anyhow,That fuel was made by a chemist that makes fuel here I guess I missed something. What scooter is that reed set from? |

What is that bead of stuff near the perimeter of the reeds' sealing surface? Think that stuff could have expanded and caused the warpage?

The minarelli reedblock pictured is from a Keeway F-act. Stage6 build i did for a guy.
Its been fine since the reed petal replacement and the stops added. Maybe the messed up from not having the stops in?? Never happened to me before but who know, first time for everything huh?
Im not sure what the stuff is? Maybe it did it?
