I recently bought the holley fuel bowl that lets you change jets with bowl in place. I noticed a big difference in the accelerator pump between the stock bowl and the new bowl. The stock bowl has a hole drilled so the fuel goes into the accelerator pump cavity. There is also a check ball and a tiny metal bracket to hold the check ball in place. Then you have the spring, diaphram and the pump housing. The new bowl has 3 tiny holes between the fuel reservoir and the pump cavity. They give you a rubber plug that you insert into the middle hole which basically blocks fuel from going into the pump cavity. I had submerged the new bowl in water to test it and when you pump the accelerator pump nothing happens. What am I doing wrong, I dont see how this thing is supposed to function especially with the rubber plug there and I cant take it out because without the check ball the fuel will be forced back into the bowl. No there is no way to transfer metal bracket and check ball over to the new bowl. Someone with more experience please explain for me.

Pictures would be an enormous help. Either that or a scan of the instructions.

The rubber plug inserts from the pump side of the fuel bowl, and be sure to trim the end off enough to let your float drop completely. When the pump is compressed, the plug seals the holes and keeps the fuel from going back into the bowl. When the pump is released, the plug allows fuel to flow from the bowl into the pump cavity and refill it.
