Brian & Tennis Shoes,

It seems you both think alike for the problem being the reed valves.


Your symptom of 'burpin & fartin' out the carb can come from compression
escaping the cylinder(s). The reed valves are the only thing keeping the
compression where it's supposed to be.


If you lift the heads (usually not hard to do) you might get a nasty
surprise to find one or more rings broken or gone altogether.
