what effect would a reed barely standing open have on an engine. By barely I mean you have to hold it up to a light to see it.

None, unless you are turning it over very slowly by hand. In that case you would not get any case pressure as the piston moved down the bore and without case pressure the carb pump will not move any fuel.
