This may be a dumb question, but which direction is the arrow on the reed block supposed to face? I just replaced my reeds and noticed the arrow on the block. It was facing down when I removed it, but who knows if the Previous Owner (Who appearantly doesn't know that you can maintain your own bike) put it in upside down at one time. My manual doesn't even mention anything about it.

oh gotcha, that thing is huge. I have no literature available to me on that engine. Signature line is a great place to let everyone know the info on your bike so you dont have to write it each time with your question..
