Winter project carb rebuilds

Lol speaking of failing memory Ben, I searched for hours for "missing" gaskets outta the kit. I was pissed as I saw myself spending another $70-80 for another kit!
I mentioned to Lori the missing pieces. She said to look in garbage can in basement shop. BINGO, there they were. Turns out my 18 month old grandson Knox got his hands on the kit and before Nana could stop him he dumped some of it in the garbage lol.
Anyway, I posted a pic of pic from kit.
NO CHK BALL listed/shown in exploded view.
Sure wish they would give you a kit breakdown with it.
Also another pic from fsm mentions nothing about chk ball, BUT it does mention the "discharge check needle"
Doesn't make sense chk ball would be in same hole as needle??
Gonna go ahead and assemble without it.
Thanks for info on seats. I put new ones in but gonna check them.
How did u measure?
Thanks Ben.

Grrrr, memory failure sux. I want to say that check ball has to do with fuel flow at accelerator pump cavity. Fuel can't go out the same way it comes in. I wont take my carb back apart to look for it but I will review the exploded view later today. I'm going to compare my kit number too. Why?
One thing about it I'll never forget... Like any, the float lifts needles from seats. New needles and seats n the kit. The seats that were in my kit were taller ( about .100 ) than those removed. If that should be the case with yours, you wont get the float level set right without moding the float arms and slosh baffles.
