Magnet rod.   Got a couple of 'em.  That, and being careful to just 
not drop anything down the carb.


Even so, unless the carb throttle is knocked open, whatever may drop 
down the carb will just sit on the butterfly valve waiting to be 
reclaimed.  If the carb is off the intake log and something is 
dropped into the intake, it can get really interesting when you try 
to retrieve the errant article.   In worst case situations, I picture 
visions of either having to yank the head, or turn the engine 
upside-down and shake...
