Hate it when that happens. I think they're aluminium, so you can't fetch
them with a magnetic pick-up tool.

The two black plastic rod-looking things go into the center
of the vacuum pistons. In those go the 90-deg bent wires.
With these you can see the pistons rise and fall, so as to
even airflow. They also allow ballpark 1/32 piston lifts to
check mixture.<br>
<br>
The small brass plug-looking thing is a jet-centering tool
that goes in place of a jet; very handy if you're doing a
complete overhaul and replacing the jets.<br>
<br>
By far the most useful tool is the small wrench that looks
like the tool some people use to floss; it's the only way I
can get to the jet adjusting nuts on my BN2. Any other
tool--wrench, pliers, etc.--would be almost impossible to
use with the carbs on the car.<br>
<br>
All in all, a simple but useful collection of tools. Did I
miss any?<br>
