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

Tom,
I don't have mine handy, but from memory:
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.
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.
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.
All in all, a simple but useful collection of tools. Did I miss any?
Bob
