Crud. I put the aluminum 5/32 ball in the power valve assembly. The B I referenced must have been incorrectly rebuilt in the past. I guess it makes sense given that the power piston is pressing against it constantly. Aluminum probably wouldn't hold up over time.
As for ball number 37…In reading the manual, I agree that it seems very necessary during acceleration. Guess I'll throw that puppy in there as well. Worst that can happen, is that it won't run at all. Well, at least it’s not rocket science. Thanks for taking the time to post the diagrams. One of these days I need to pony up and buy a manual.
And Brice, you’re right, Ellensburg is a great little town. I was raised here and chose to have my family here as well. Are you relation to the Smith-Kem clan?
