September 20, 201312 yr The 2008 Rev 3 parts book shows a spacer between the intake manifold and reed valve for the 250/ 270. It does not show one for the 200. Do all 250/ 270s have the spacer? How thick is it? Has anyone tried removing it?
September 20, 201312 yr Its about 6mm mate, I've read people have taken them out to make it easier to take out the carb but if you mean does it make any difference to the performance? I don't know. I recently striped all mine out I think Beta have missed a gasket off the parts diagram because you would end up with the two metal faces of the reed block and spacer with no gasket between them.
October 21, 201312 yr I thought you and others may benefit from this answer.

Some people where I ride have told me that the spacer between the inlet manifold and reed block can be removed to aid getting carb in and out, is that right and does it effect performance? IF IT IS A 2T JUST REMOVE. IT WILL MAKE A SMALL DIFFERENCE GIVING MORE POWER.
October 21, 201312 yr Hmmm, 08 is the first year of Kei Hin carb, I wonder if it's shorter than the Mikuni and the spacer is to make it fit between the intake and the air box I have seen reed spacers before but they move the reed block out from the cylinder, not the manifold away from the reed block
