Need fuel line check valve

It appears from multiple posts that I should replace the fuel line check valve to improve the (very) poor starting on my 1979 carburetor Fiat Spider 2000. Does anyone know of a source for a suitable replacement??

I've got a used one but think it better money spent to get a fresh one from AR.

Thanks for the info. But I am a bit confused. Isn't the check valve function to stop liquid fuel draining back from the carburetor? The Autoricambi (AR??) reference is to a vapor check valve. The problem I am trying to solve is poor starting because apparently the fuel pump needs to pump fuel up from the tank instead of just provide the final shot into the carb.
