One last tip that comes to mind for when you assemble the carb. In the kit you should find 2 check balls. They will be different sizes, but it’s a little hard to tell without actually measuring them. In the case of the kits I’ve been getting one ball (the larger) is polished and shiny while the smaller one is not so polished looking. The smaller ball goes in the accelerator pump well. If you happen to just drop the bigger ball into the well, it can jam in the port and be a real PIA to remove. The larger ball goes under the small spring and “T” shaped retainer under the venturi assembly.
Anyway hope this helps a bit.

The small ball is made of aluminum; the big one is steel, so you can easily tell them apart with a magnetic screwdriver. The steel one sticks to the screwdriver.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
