I lost my washer, I think I'm going to cry

[Egaeus]

I got all of the o-rings I needed to put my carburetors back together, and in the process of changing the idle air screw o-ring, the washer fell out of the carb.  It went "tink" on the table, and disappeared.  I've been over the carpet back and forth with my eyes and a magnet, and I just can't find it.  I think it might have landed on my dog.  It's gone.  That means no riding for another week over a $0.98 washer.

Tallahassee, FL.  If you could, that would be great.  I'd even pay.  I have paypal, and am not afraid to use it.

Oh, thank you karma!  I was having connectivity issues, so I called Comcast, they said something was wrong locally, and I gave up on the internet.  I saw my dog looking up at me forlornly, and I got down in the floor to play with her.  What do I see, but the washer!  It was right where I'd been looking with a light and a magnet. Lesson: play with your dog more.

i have a cat... does that count?

Haha nice!  Double check and make sure the o-ring is still in the carb body too.

I took it out.  It was the old one, and I hadn't taken the new one out of the package yet.  I put the screws in immediately once I found the washer.  Not going to go through that again....

Now, I can put my carb together, smooth out my cam, adjust my valves, and I'll hopefully be back on the road by tomorrow evening.
