In this parts diagram it would be #7:



I've seen this happen before, so I'm just throwing it out there that could be a possibility.
OK I have the large ball under the tiny spring and T holder. I have the smaller ball under the accelerator pump. Still no squirt AND if I tilt the carb slightly back towards the throttle plates, gas pours out the tiny venturi holes, which is my original reason for disassembly. I even doubled the gasket and tightened the hell out of the venturi.
