Could it be the reeds

[boxofbits]

Just popped to the shops on my GT 186 came to a hill so gave it some then all power went pulled clutch in the bumped in 3rd then took it slow home then I tried to give it a bit more and did the same again thought it may be faulty stator but readings are fine with a volt meter and I tried new CDI plug etc and did the same. Now when I start it it will not rev and just stales if any load is given. Was getting dark do chucked in the shed. Would knacked reeds give this effect?

Cheers never thought the LT coil woundnt readings on volt meter be low if that was the fault?

Just out of curiosity, what are "reeds"?

[boxofbits]

It's got a Reed valve which has fibre petals reeds these can split or even break meaning engine runs rubbish

[Tractorman]

Just got one in that would not run at all, one petal was completely missing.
