I wonder why they changed the design in 55 and stopped putting the ball in the pump check ? or is it just a mistake on the diagram ? or are the diameter of the passages and hole sizes different enough to make the pump check unnecessary ? (idle curiosity on my part )
And Chris, I am no relation to the smith-kems , however I think you where one year ahead of me in school , I graduated from EHS in 88 , I was the nut who rode my bicycle everywhere and worked at the bicycle shop.
