Ball bearing in an edelbrock carburator?

Is there a ball bearing in there? Where does it go? What size should it be?Ball bearing in an edelbrock carburator?
Sort of. There is 1 item that does look like a ball bearing or a big BB



It fits in a hole under the pump jet housing (discharge nozzle, squirter)



The pump jet housing is held in with 2 screws, under this is a gasket, and a hole right in the center of carb body under the housing.



In this hole is a brass retangle shaped item called the pump discharge weight and under that is your "ball bearing" It's called a pump discharge ballBall bearing in an edelbrock carburator?
that bearing is the discharge bearing for the accelerator pump. there should be a small screw close to the accelerator pump and the bearing goes under the screw. it,s there so the accelerator don,t pump too much gas.Ball bearing in an edelbrock carburator?
There are steel balls used as check valves, but no ball bearings that I know of.

    1. It's called the Pump discharge valve under the Pump jet housing with the Pump discharge weight in between them. I've read that its a ball in with .140 in diameter. Do not know the desired weight it should be and need one myself.
