I just pulled that vacuum breaker valve yesterday. There is, indeed, a little white ball, spring, and white collar on the downstream side of the valve. I took it apart as part of troubleshooting. The ball is soft and I could see how it might stick if there were backpressure for a bit. Mine had a mark from the seat where it was being pressed against the seat (it was getting 65 psi against the ball when hooked up backwards).
On another note... This forum rocks! I was able to fix the black water flush by correcting the valve that was installed reversed. Now I have black water flush!
Never would have found that valve without this forum and Brian's help.
Thank you.

I went to run the flush today and no flow again. I verified water was getting through the vacuum breaker. Looks like the problem is artthe tank

That's the flusher mounted in the side of the black tank Kenny. It's about 1" deep and completely full.
Word to the wise: make sure to flush the line when the flusher is off. The whole 90 and then some were full too!

I was wondering that too. The water enters on the outside, inside is a sprayer head, right?

Correct, its a sprayer head mounted to the side of the tank with some holes in it. The pic you see is the threaded part on the outside the hose attaches too.
It was more fibrous than poop, likely TP, just poop colored. Best guess is tiny particles made their way through the holes sloshing around with a full tank and then in there the water pressure smashed them into a clump. As flow got restricted the problem likely compounded itself.
I drilled all the holes out in the flusher to 1/8" so hopefully increased water flow will allow whatever gets in there to flow back out when pressure is applied.
After seeing how much was stuck in there I'm not at all surprised at the amount of water pressure I could apply with no results.
