The check ball is a 1/8 stainless steel check ball and Mike's Carburetor Parts sells it for $1.95.

Oh the stories that could be told of critical parts flying off. As you graduate through the process of working on our hobby, you learn to instantly put your senses in emergency mode. hearing, ( where did it last make a sound). perifocal vision kicks in, and then the search.

Jesus clips, when a clip C or E goes flying always say Jesus were'd that go? LOL

While replacing the fuel pump last year I dropped a lock washer into the block, heard it land in the pan. After getting over the sick feeling I tried flushing it out, tried magnets, oh well the pan leaked anyway. After removing the pan there it was right where I imagined it would be. Episodes like that make you a lot more careful.

Like when you take anything off regarding the engine, stuff the hole.
