Hi everyone. I'm writing in extreme regret and humility right now. Well I just took a video after fixing the cooling system. The thing ran for 30 minutes without over heating . I was figuring the carburetor has to come off at some point might as well be now since I'm going to turn off the engine for awhile. Well it's going all smoothly but the choke picot point was stuck so I had to put the carburetor in half to wiggle the choke lever off the top half. Well I forgot about the check balls and those fell all over bit that's ok it's nothing compared to what comes next. Well I'm busy being upset about losing those I knock over the carb and one of the little tin shields fall INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD!!!! I can't pull it out with pliers and it's not magnetic. I really don't know what to do. It's a big piece so I'm not worried about it going through a intake valve but it's a major problem. The intake is integral so I can't just remove it. I really don't want to remove the whole head. It'll add so much time and money neither of which I have. Can I remove one of those plugs on the front of the manifold and pull it out somehow. I'm so upset at myself right now. That's such an amateur mistake
