Justintoxicated Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Is it ok to re-use Reed gaskets or should I replace them? I have an extra set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICK BOY Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Those gaskets are cheap,so I would just replace them to be on the safe side.But if you need to,I think as long as the old ones look good they could probley be reused.

boonman Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 I would not re-use them. Do you really want to risk an air leak that could destroy your motor in very short time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Quad Racer Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 no never had an air leak and had my bike for over 3 years. its not hard to look at them and say yes or no to if you can reuse them or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted February 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 well I guess I might a well replace them since I have spares, I'll toss the 3 used (non-ripped) ones I have in a zip lock for backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
