Unfortunately I don't have shop air and one of my o-rings under a fuel screw broke and got lodged under where the screw seats. Least expensive tool ever!

The other is just a bad reed valve on a rebuild I'm working on. It's good to check your reeds every once in a while!

I use a thin wire from a twist tie to fish my o-rings out if they get stuck.I also carry spare o-rings and washers that goes with the fuel screw..just in case..
 
Vipers are known for doing that to reeds. It's become a regular item to check when I have the carbs off after about half a petal broke on me a few years ago.
