The check ball is a 1/8 stainless steel check ball and Mike's Carburetor Parts sells it for $1.95.On my teapot Carb,i dropped the accelerator pump ball check, it went int to the twilight Zone. Can any one tell me the diameter of the ball? so I can replace it .

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.On my teapot Carb,i dropped the accelerator pump ball check, it went int to the twilight Zone.

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