I wonder if it could be the pipe for the high speed jet.  I had one of 
these fall out of one of my carbs on the trip back from Parma.  It is a 
pipe maybe 3 mm in diameter and 3 cm long.  Is supposed to be stuck in 
the carb top, pointing straight down.  When mine fell out the car still 
run fine except for a miss at 70 mph or so.
