83 RX7 Nikki 4bbl carb parts missing

I purchased this car and the previous owner said he rebuilt the carb but it didn't run right. I decided to rebuild it myself and I noticed the accl pump spring was missing so i replaced it. Put the carb back on and it was still not working. I took it apart and noticed the accl pump inlet weight was missing also the accl pump outlet weight and check ball was also gone. I know some carb kits come with these just not sure if my model has a kit that comes with them. I read in a thread hygrade from carquest was a good one but that thread is 7 years old an carquest can't get that kit. So any help would be greatly appreciated. hopefully someone can help me get these parts are a close up picture of the weights and i'll go to the hardware store and make my own. The check ball is smaller than a bb so ill have to find one that will work.

I looked online at autozone and they only showed one kit GP Sorensen/Carburetor Kit which didn't include the weights or check *****. But to help others I found a check ball that works. I used one of the small retaining ***** that are used to hold down a CD in a portable CD player. The weights measurements are 3/16 inch long piece of brass wire 1/8 diameter will work for the under the nozzel, and brass 1/4 inch long and 3/32 for the housing. Thanks to Sterling for the weight measurements. I had to hunt through threads to find the measurements because Sterling never replied to my email sent through his website. Hope this info helps those in need since those parts are discontinued. The brass can be found at Lowe's in the nut & bolt section.
