Default magnum carb extra parts??

Can someone help me with extra parts that showed up on my work table. I bought a 46 XL magnum for $20, bearing look ok, turns over good. But when I took the carb apart to clean it a little spring and ball, and I do mean little fell out on the table. We are talking 1/16" small. Were did this come from? I've look on the net but can't find out.

Help

I don't know of any ball in the carb?

There's a spring in behind the barrel that holds it out against the retaining pin.

Boy, do I fell like a dump a**. The spring and ball came from my screw driver that has a philips on one end and a flat on the other, the ball and spring just keeps it snapted in the handle. Wish I had used my brain before I posted.

Thanks anyway w8ye for you reply.

Maybe there's another spring and ball missing from the switch that keeps your brain turned on?

Haw.

Sorry, just kidding, but it was too good to miss.

Hay' I know I have no problem laughing at myself and I did. The good news is the magnum runs ok without the spring and ball, idle is not the best but this engine has not ran in 3 years so with a little running time I hope will smooth out, turns 13,050 with a 10/6 APC.
