What is with the pump intake check ball? Only the ball is  supplied in

change the ball to a new one? Any experience to if the Jet  will hold for
a change of ball without the tiny parts holding it will  break?
 
Ulf,
 
As I recall, there are both inlet and outlet check valves in these  
carburetors.  If you don't have both, the fuel just slurps back and forth  when the 
plunger moves up and down.  I think that one of them is in a cage  and can be 
screwed into its seat.  Do not try to take it apart.  The  loose ball is the 
other check, and sits in a seat in the housing.  It seems  as though we used to 
put them in place and just tap then lightly with a flat-end  punch to form the 
seat. I believe that some other spring (Perhaps the pump  plunger spring?) was 
installed on top of the ball to keep it from falling  out.  
 
I wish that I could remember more clearly, but it's been a very long  time!
 
Good Luck!
