I gotta agree with Hal on this one. The screw probably fell out unnoticed when you first pulled off the air cleaner tube.

Highly unlikely it got sucked up into the engine. Unless the engine is run fully loaded at maximum RPM there is simply not enough air velocity thru the choke area to pick up and carry the screw up into the engine.

Further, even if the screw DID make it into the engine combustion chamber clearances in the (relatively low compression) H are simply too large for it to be a problem. The screw would likely get knocked around inside for a few combustion cycles - and maybe peen the piston top a bit - then pass unnoticed out through the exhaust.

My opinion: If the engine is running OK now I wouldn't give it another thought...
