In the process of stripping my px210 motor & have noticed inside the malossi reed rubber the intake looks quite small. Using a 30 ml carb and it looks like the rubber mount would restrict the airflow. Is this right and or is there anything out worth changing it too. Hope this makes sense! Cheers

The reed block rubber os designed for the 30/20mm PHBH carb (35mm fitting). I would reccommend taking out the plastic struffer that sits in it and let the carb feed directly onto the petals through the rubber only.

Have to say I don't think you'll improve matters doing that. The rubber isn't there as a restriction its supposed to help with low throttle responce.
Yanker I don't think the plastic stuffer fits with the phbh rubber.

Inlet area b4 petals shouldn't be more than 15% of the carb bore, maybe u can dremmel the stuffer a bit if using a bigger carb.
