Stroke and reeds is what I think give them the torque, plus maybe the way oem porting was done.

I would say Al or 660mag or others would know more on these older reeds and how they work.  I try and stay as far away from them as I can. Just not my cup of tea, so to speak.

A certain eccentric fellow out in Northern Ca would sure appreciate it if you'd steer any of those reed valve 4200-8500 series Poulans  that you come accoss towards him.  Those old reed valve monsters certainly are my cup of tea!:D
