If you just dropped it and have not engaged the throttal spring then hopefully it is still resting on top of your throttal plates in the carbs. They would be in a natural closed position (in theory at least) After removing the aircleaner.... carefully look down and see if it is just there and use the magnet to fetch. If not then step by step like everyone has suggested remove the carb and look beneath. Hopefully you have a dual plane and it is just resting on the first plane.
Good luck...
