AS reed-air suction- its purpose is to reduce carbonmonoxide and hydrocarbons emission

What it does-is draws air into the exhaust manifold to accelerate oxidation, using vacuum produced by exhaust pulsatiion in the exhaust manifold.

It is similar to an air injection pump operation-

When I give it some gas and release, it makes gurgling noise. Does this suspose to operate this way or is reed valve bad?
