3. Inspect the reed stopper height. Using a caliper, measure the distance from the seat to the bottom outer tip edge of the stopper. Measurement must not exceed specifications. If measurement is not within specifications, either bend or replace the reed stopper. Fig. 2-207
1. Inspect the balancer shaft bearings by rotating them by hand. The bearings must rotate freely without binding or feeling rough. If either condition exists, replace the bearing. Inspect the balancer gear very closely for any chipped teeth or signs of wear. If either condition exists, replace the gear. Fig. 2-205

4. Inspect the reed-to-seat clearance. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance. Clearance must be less than 0.20 mm (0.008 in.). If clearance is not within specifications, replace the reed valve.
