You sure the residual pressure valve was removed from the m/c? It looks like
a li'l brass button, and sits in the outlet port of the m/c. A lot of
rebuilders don't bother replacing them any more, but it's a possibility.

My brother in-law's SII has one of the equal reservoir 'Corvette' type
m/c's, seems to work fine and appears to have the stock plumbing to the prop
valve. Dunno a part #, sorry. For a Scout II, make sure it has a 1 1/8"
bore.
