The carb is off...

I pulled my carb off tonight. Honestly, with my non-vast knowledge of carbs, and from everything I have read from you guys, it appears fine. The one thing that is odd, and this was my mistake, was that when I inverted the float bowl (checking to see if the floats touch the straight edge (figure 1 on carb rebuild adjustments) the pump ball weight fell out onto the rag on my work bench. I did not see the pump ball anywhere. Again, could have fallen on the ground... First question... would the absence of the pump ball cause the lack of acceleration (floats test looked good by the way)?

And now that I have the dang thing off, what do you guys recommend I check? What would be a good test of the dang power valve?

This thing is gonna get fixed this weekend... Or go in the recycling bin one
