Reply to "Washer in carb"

As an alternative, assuming that it was not a stainless steel other non magnetic washer, you might try securely attaching a magnet to something flexible (a plastic shaft, wire, music wire, etc,), remove your carb, and direct the magnet down each runner until you feel it grab on the stem of the intake valve. If it hasn't found one of the cylinders with an open intake valve, chances are pretty good you'll snag it. If it found an open intake valve, you're screwed. Chances are, it didn't. If you have a single plane intake, this is easy. If you have a dual plane, its still not too bad. What do you have to lose? The magnet? -You're no worse off. -Good luck.
