Just finishing my carb rebuildand have a question about my new vforce4 reeds. Originally it came with a spacer but the vforce in structions say to cut the lip off of the boot and use no spacer. Figured id iask the question because i have a spacer.

you cannot run the spacer behind the VF3's, it will allow the center cage to push back and out during hard acceleration.
the intake is what holds it in.
if the VF4's assemble in the same manner as the vf3's ?
you cannot run the spacer behind them, only in front of between the cage and cylinder.

running in in front of any reed cage results in a lower rpm power band,
behind reeds raises the power band in the rpm range.

unless you are running a spacer to purposely alter the powerband rpm's, or for larger carb clearence,
use it as a paperweight.
 
Its the way it was sold to me ran great just wanted to clean the carb figure out what jets it had in it and swap out to reeds with out screws. I liked the way it ran the way it was but heard good things about the vforce4 just want to make sure i install them correctly.
