Most lawn mowers are 4-Cycle and therefore do not have reed valves. A reed Valve is used in place of an OHV intake valve in a 2 cycle engine and it is usually located either in a bolted bore hole or just behind the carberator (behind meaning on the engine side) usually these also require some kind of gasket seal so you will either need to procure one or make one (please note that not all gasket maker is designed to be used with gasoline and oily fluids so either use cork or a proper RTV) There is a small valve similar to a reed valve called an impulse fuel pump and the inside of this component looks very much like a kind of reed and it is usually secured to the engine block with 2 or more small bolts and a gasket.
