We've got a stuck check-ball in our carburetor float bowl. It's at the bottom of the accelerator pump well. There is 1 port and 1 check-ball at the bottom.

Of the two carb float bowls we have both check balls are stuck. This seems to be common.

What will happen to engine runability if the ball is jammed? We are having stalling issues when warm.

Thanks,
J&K

It will not run well and can be a contributor to your stalling problem. Spray some carb cleaner in the holes. They should come out by tapping against a block of wood. You could also blow them out with air. Just be care full where they go.
