The only thing I don't like about this is that it does make priming slower if you run out of fuel / get air in the line.Remove it and just put a plug in place of the barb fitting. With the ball removed all the fuel pressure just flows out the return.
Ive experienced the opposite, longer cranking with it in place and fuel pressure issues with it gutted. Any small seep in the return lines empties the fuel filter out and fills it with air if the ball is gone, which makes it harder to start since theres air in the supply side as well as the return. Its personal preference, the best solution is to delete the stock filter head all together.The only thing I don't like about this is that it does make priming slower if you run out of fuel / get air in the line.
The return has a metered orifice(small pinhole in it), so you don't lose "all the fuel pressure" - the check ball just tries to prevent drainback.
Which is why I said you need to install a check valve in the supply side. Fuel won't drain out of a bowl unless it can siphon; this means you need both air in the return side, and a lack of a stop on the supply side. Either of those(drawing a vacuum on the return side, or a check valve on the supply) will prevent *any* drainback.Ive experienced the opposite, longer cranking with it in place and fuel pressure issues with it gutted.

Have you messed with the governor? Typically surging while driving is the metering valve trying to make up for a lack of fuel pressure under load. Adjusting the droop will make it less sensitive, but it will just be masking the real issue which is fuel pressure loss.It actually starts just bumping the starter now. Starting much much easier. But now it is surging when I am driving and it's not falling back . It takes it a little bit could that be in my governor adjustment. Thanks for the replys
Yes I turned it almost all of the way inHave you messed with the governor? Typically surging while driving is the metering valve trying to make up for a lack of fuel pressure under load.

What did you turn in? The guide stud adjustment or the 1/2" hex on the minimax under the top cover?Yes I turned it almost all of the way in
