My BBS carb looked like it was slightly leaking where the fuel line adaptor fitting goes into the carb.

So I was going to reseal it (better I hope) and adjust the float level.


I took the carb top off and lifted it away.

As I lifted, the accelerator pump came off with the top.


Then it dropped out.


The accelerator pump spring has sprung somewhere and I can't find it.


So I need the dimensions of this spring ( length, number of coils, wire diameter) so I can rewind another spring.

And then I heard a small metallic

DINK

sound as I put the accelerator plunger back in......


Sure enough, I popped out the ball bearing check valve....



Luckily I had 1 ball bearing left in my old carb kit (I keep the old balls just in case...)


Version 2 of the spring (Version 1 seemed a little long, so I snipped off a few coils) seems to be doing the trick.




And the fuel inlet seems to be staying dry too...
