See if you see a little disc sitting inside there. If you're lucky/unlucky, yours will appear hollow like mine...which simply means you need a new external check valve. The unfortunate part about this is that it STILL means that you have to pull the front cover off in order to retrieve the 3-4 little parts that used to be inside the external check valve.
As for a diagram, I can't find the doc that came with the kit right now, but it did a full walk-through of the process...including which way to install the valves.

If you are talking about the big black plastic line, I have already removed that part and pulled vacuum on it with the mighty vac. I had my wife hold both ends and then I pulled vacuum on both ports (individually) on the check valve. I did not look through it. I suppose I could remove it again and take a peek?
Edit: The vacuum pump and other parts will be here this coming week. I ordered them from Phil this morning.
