Fishing tips
I was putting the engine back in the car today, and had to pull the carb off in mid stride. Needless to say, nuts and washers started falling and in the end I found 4 nuts and 3 washers. Murphy's Law says that last washer is down inside my intake somewhere. I've searched high and low on the floor and frame, but no luck.
So, any tricks or tips for fishing such objects out of the intake / cylinder head? Looking at going out to get a cheap borescope and flexible magnet retriever tomorrow. Any other ideas for pulling something out, or verifying that there is, or is not, something down in the runners?
Thanks!
Scott
