Last night I took apart my fuel bowl on my 1973 Holley 1920 and there was no check ball rolling around in the bowl. I considered that a good sign. Looking at the end of my metering block where the plastic lever sits, I see the power jet valve lever has both balls in place. My Walker rebuild carb kit #15519A came with a new check ball. Other than the two balls on the power jet valve lever, where else would a check ball go?
I have been told when rebuilding a carburetor, you need to install a new float in your 1920, and make sure the power valve check ball hasn't fallen out of the metering block. I have a new float to install. Other than the two check balls on the power jet valve lever, where else in the metering block would there be a check ball. As I look at my factory service manual, I think another check ball is supposed to be in the metering block. Am I right, and if so where does it go?
This is the first time this carb has ever been rebuilt and this is the first time I have ever rebuilt a carb. Your suggestions are welcomed.
