What kind of reed valve is this?

This intake has the wide aluminum plate and a bolted on boot. Bolts are removed but you can see the mounting holes.

Looks different than the parts diagram picture for the stock reed assembly.
Any ideas?

What model and year bike do you have?

Those reeds need replacing.

We put a torque spacer between the reeds and the cylinder. This pulls out the reeds a tad from the reed box. Yours is on the wrong side of the reeds.

thats not a spacer plate. someone adapted the bike to have a different set of reeds..5 petal? the black adapter is a standard husky piece, so a mikuni spigot adapter can be used. looks like you could locate a magnesium reed block from any primary kick husky and install that along with new reed petals and be good to go. a new mikuni boot would be a good idea as well

The boot is trashed for sure. Reeds too. I was hoping to find reeds for this one but I can do as you suggest.Where's a good place to get the spigot adaptor?

the spigot is a Mikuni part that reed cage has surly got to be a Mossberg getting those parts should be easy

yeah, some pics of the inside of the cage would tell us if its a mossberger

i bet thats a mossbarger cage..everything else is husky..should be able to get petals from them still..and the mikuni boot isnt too expensive.

http://mossbargerracing.com/index1.htm you can file all that extra meat off the edges

I see the "power groove" inside- I'll have to call them. Mine is a 5 petal design. Must be an early one to have left the extra metal or a knock-off.
Thanks guys! Anyone know where I can get the boot?

read the part number on the lip of the boot, and search on ebay or the like. you can always pay more from a specialist or some carb parts dealers..if you cant find the number i can check in the garage

i got my last one from Halls Sudco dist will have them the old parts n acc shop kept them on hand back in the 70s n 80s that will be super easy

Cafe Husky forum members are the best!

its a group effort and its a damn big group

I got mine from eBay. Two of them for $38.

DAMN NOT THE LAST ONE I BOUGHT BUT THE ONE BEFORE THAT [ OK YES IT WAS 1985] WAS 6 DOLLARS CALL HALLS I BET RAYMOND HAS A BOX FULL OF THOSE

2 of them for under 40 free shipping is good enough price for me..especially if they are real mikuni

Get your spares early!

Hey guys, Thanks for the responses ! Cafe Husky is great!
yes it is a Mossbarger- called Tiffany at Mossbargers and they have the reeds and the inlet flange- $25 for the flange
How often do they wear out??
