Does anyone know of a good source where I can find replacement reeds for a KEC 440/21 motor. The ones I'm working with have noticeable daylight showing through on a couple that don't appear to want to seal. Is there any way to adjust the reeds? And, does anyone know of a good source for NOS or aftermarket reeds. I've tried Ebay but I'd rather go elsewhere.
Thanks...

According to the service manual, 0.060 is the maxium hang-open tolerance. NOS reeds show up on Ebay. You could try reversing them but you must use lock-tite on the screws.

Thanks for the reversing idea. If nothing else, I'll go with Ebay.
