Well it's winter and no better time to go through the motor to ensure it'll be good to go in the spring.....I visually inspected all my Reeds & Blocks looking at them for any pedal that would be open to far as well as the reed condition, well they all looked great until I placed a very bright white LED light inside the Reed Block only to find a very large air gap that was not visable with the naked eye. With the Reed pedal in place, this would not be an easy eye ball find. You can see by the photos that the lack of rubber was the cause for a bad seal..........I'll know better next time I do a Reed Block inspection............I called Don and said better add some more parts to the list before you ship, and as usual he always takes care of my every want and need..........
Good sealing surface:
