ok, so more cleaning today. i learned that the ultra sonic cleaner's heater function gets HOT!! like steaming hot when it's 65 in the garage, and makes it hot to the touch! *edit* this thing gets to about 130 F or so. it's tolerable, but not for long! looks like the heater is pretty decent in there, and it REALLY helps with the cleaning!!!
ok, so i have some questions now. i can't find any information about what this stuff is in the carbs. nothing in the service manual or in the clymers...
when i pulled off the accelerator pump cover on the #2 carb, i noticed a little plastic square peeking up at me, in the float bowl form this location:

and another one, as can be seen still intact in the cover, here:

when i pulled out the piece of plastic from the float bowl itself, the first picture, i found the plastic piece and a ball bearing, as can be seen here from two angles:
