Thanks so much for your help. As soon as I have some free time, perhaps this weekend, I will try to expose that reed valve. I kinda thought that was the location of it but could not remove the screw - was afraid of stripping it which would have caused more problems than I wanted to get into. Is there also an out-take valve and is so, where is it? You would't have a diagram of that motor? 1978 Express? Be great if you could scan and email. If not, that's OK. Thanks again friend.
