Finding the missing bead on the carburetor is the first real technical hurdle in My Summer Car, stopping engine assembly and preventing the car from starting. This part is tiny, and if you simply turned over the box of spare parts and did not find it there, it means that it accidentally fell out and was lost somewhere in the garage or on the street. Busik is critical to throttle control, and without it the throttle cable will not have the correct tension, causing the engine to either stall at idle or run rough.
This element can only be found by a thorough visual inspection of the floor in the barn, since the physics of the game allows small parts to bounce and roll into the most unexpected cracks between the boards. Most often, players discover the loss after attempting to install the cable, when they realize that there is nothing to fix it with, and begin to panic, thinking about bugs or the need to look for a configuration file. Bead does not appear out of thin air and is not regenerated if you lose it out of range, so attentiveness is your main tool at this moment.
Inside the game world My Summer Car The process of assembling a Satsuma car is as close to reality as possible, which means there are many small fasteners that are easy to lose. Busik, or locking bead, is designed to secure the throttle cable in the drive lever. Without this small part, the cable will dangle and you will not be able to control the engine speed properly. Players often forget that when unpacking new parts from a box, some items may fall out if they jerk the mouse sharply or tilt the virtual box. This is why experienced players advise carrying out the initial assembly above a workbench or in the center of the room, so that all fallen parts remain in sight. If you have already completed the engine assembly stage and reached the attachments, but there is no bead, do not rush to delete the save. Most likely, it lies somewhere within a radius of several meters from the place where you opened the box with the carburetor.
The mechanics of falling objects in the game are subject to the laws of gravity and elasticity, therefore bead could bounce off the concrete floor and roll under shelving, under a workbench, or even into a pile of trash. It is important to understand that, unlike large units, small parts like bolts, nuts and beads do not light up and do not have special markers until you pick them up. Search complicated by the fact that the floor in the barn is often contaminated with oil, dirt or littered with other parts, merging with which the small metal ball becomes almost invisible. Some players recommend using a flashlight at night or when the lights are off in the shed, as the metallic sheen can give away the location of a lost item. It's also worth checking the pockets if you've previously tried to put a part there, although the game usually places small components straight away in the appropriate inventory slots or on the floor.
Location of the bead in the garage and shed
The main search area should be limited directly to the workplace where the carburetor was assembled. If you installed carburetor on a workbench, first check the floor around it, including the area under your feet and under the table itself. It often happens that when you try to put the cable on, the bead slips out of your fingers and falls down, bouncing to the side. Visual control in this area it is most effective if you slowly move the camera along the floor, changing the viewing angle. You should not ignore the corners of the room and the joints between the floorboards, since the game’s physics engine sometimes gets small objects stuck in precisely such geometric imperfections. If you assembled on the floor, expand your search radius as the bounce could be strong.
The second place to look is around the trash heap and the entrance to the barn. Many players, when unpacking parts, stand closer to the exit or to a pile of rubbish, and the bead can roll there. It is most difficult to search in a pile of garbage, since there are many other metal objects, rusty pipes and cans, among which bead lost perfectly. However, if you are sure that you did not go outside the barn, then you should not look for the part outside of it, unless you carried the carburetor outside. Game physics does not allow items to teleport, so the logic of the player's movement after the moment of loss should become a map to find. Also check the shelves next to your workbench; sometimes a part can get stuck between tool boxes or oil cans.
Where exactly to look first
The most common place for loss is between the character's legs when installing the throttle cable. If you were standing at a workbench, the bead will most likely be within a 1-2 meter radius of the center of the workbench on the floor. Also check the inside of the carburetor itself if you have turned it by hand - sometimes a bead gets stuck inside the body or in the throttle channels if you tried to insert it there and dropped it.
Technical features of the part and its function
Understanding why this element is needed helps you understand the importance of finding it. Bead in carburetor design Weber (which is on the Satsuma) acts as a stopper for the throttle cable. It is inserted into the hole in the lever, and the cable is fixed between this bead and the lever body, which allows the force to be transmitted from the gas pedal to the throttle. Without this lock, the cable will simply jump out of the lever the first time you press the pedal, and the engine will stop responding to gas or will keep high speeds. This is not just a decorative element, but a critical part of the engine control mechanism. In real mechanics, these stoppers are often small balls or cylinders, and the developers kept this detail in the game to increase the realism of the assembly.
The size of the bead is very small, which creates the main difficulties when searching. In the scale of the game, it takes up several pixels on the screen, especially if you move away. Color the parts are usually metallic, silver or slightly golden, which can blend in with the color of the barn floor, especially if there is a fuel spill there. It is important to note that there are several similar small parts in the game, such as M6 bolts or washers, but the bead has a characteristic spherical or slightly flattened shape. If you pick up something similar, but the game won't let you insert it into the carburetor, then it's the wrong part. Make sure you are looking for a spherical object, which may appear as a small ball in your inventory.

Algorithm for finding a lost bead
If a standard inspection does not produce results, it is necessary to take a systematic approach to the search. Start by turning on the flashlight even during the day: direct the beam of light along the floor at an acute angle. Metallic shine the beads can glare, which will make them noticeable against the background of dull wood or concrete. Move slowly, step by step, inspecting every square foot of the shed floor. Don't ignore the areas under the workbench and shelves - in the game you can lie down on the floor and look under the furniture, which can often help you find lost bolts and nuts. If you have the opportunity, try to move large objects that may be hiding the piece, although this is difficult to do in a Satsuma shed due to the fixed geometry.
Remember your last actions before discovering your loss. If you just opened a carburetor box, concentrate on the area around the box. If you have already tried to install the cable, look under the place where you were standing at that moment. Logic suggests that the part could not have flown far unless you were running around the house. It's also worth checking your clothing pockets if you've used the save parts in pocket feature, although this is a rare scenario for a bead. Sometimes restarting the game helps, but this is risky as the position of the items may be reset and you will lose your build progress. It is better to spend 10-15 minutes on a thorough search than to start the assembly all over again.
☑️ Bead search checklist
Done: 0 / 5Installing a bead into the carburetor
After bead found, it must be installed correctly. Hold the carburetor in your hands and locate the throttle lever. There is a hole in this lever where the cable should be threaded. The bead is inserted into the back of the lever, securing the cable. In the game, this is done by hovering the cursor over the lever and using the corresponding interaction button once the cable is already threaded. If the bead is installed correctly, the cable should not come out freely. An error during installation can lead to the cable sticking or, conversely, dangling. Make sure the cable is properly tensioned before locking, although final adjustments are made with the engine installed.
The installation process may require some skill as you need to align the cable, lever hole and bead at the same time. B My Summer Car The mechanics of interacting with small parts can sometimes be finicky, so it may take several tries. If the bead does not insert, check that you are holding the carburetor and cable correctly. It may be worth placing the carburetor on a workbench for easier work. After successful installation, try tugging the cable to make sure it is securely fastened. If everything is done correctly, you can proceed to installing the carburetor on the engine and connecting other systems.

Problems after installation and their solutions
Even if the bead is found and installed, problems with engine operation may occur. If the revs fluctuate or the engine stalls when you press the gas, the cable may be too tight or too loose. Adjustment is done by screwing on the carburetor and moving the cable sheath. The bead should fit tightly, but not squeeze the cable. If you notice that the cable flies out again, it means that the bead is in the wrong hole or its size does not correspond to the modification of the carburetor (although this is not a problem in the base game). Check if the throttle lever is deformed.
Another common problem is losing the bead repeatedly. This happens if you drop the carburetor or suddenly pull the cable. Be careful when working with an installed carburetor, try not to drop the unit on the floor. If the bead is lost again, the search algorithm is the same: the floor around the place of work. Sometimes using a magnet would help if the game had one, but in My Summer Car you have to rely only on your eyes. If you frequently lose small parts, try assembling assemblies on a clean surface or using extra containers to store small components.
Tip: To avoid losing a bead in the future, assemble the carburetor and install the cable directly above the workbench, after removing unnecessary objects from the floor.
Impact of beads on gameplay
The absence of a bead blocks progress in engine tuning. You won't be able to configure it properly idle, since the throttle valve will not return to its original position or will remain open. This results in the engine being unable to start or stopping immediately. In the context of the game, this means that you will not be able to leave home, complete tasks, or simply enjoy the trip. Bead is a small element that stops a big project. It's moments like these that make My Summer Car a challenging but rewarding game where every detail matters.
In addition, constantly searching for lost parts can cause frustration for the player. However, this is part of the simulator. The developers deliberately made the parts small and subject to physics to simulate real garage life. Patience and attentiveness are key qualities for successful completion. If you've been stuck searching for a bead for an hour, it might be worth taking a break and coming back with a fresh perspective. Often, after resting the eye, it is easier to notice small details in familiar surroundings. Remember to save the game before starting complex operations with small parts.
⚠️ Attention: If you use mods for physics or part sizes, the bead may be changed or missing. Make sure you are playing on a pure version or compatible mods.
⚠️ Warning: Do not attempt to start the engine without the bead installed - this may damage the cable or lever in the game engine.
FAQ
Is it possible to buy a bead in the Teimo store?
No, the Teimo store or other game outlets do not sell beads separately. They come complete with a carburetor or cable. If you lost a bead, you can only find it in the garage or, as a last resort, use console commands or mods to restore the part, but within the vanilla game - only search.
What to do if a bead falls under the floor texture?
If you are sure that the bead fell under the floor and cannot be retrieved, try using the console command to teleport items or reload the save. In some cases, it helps to push an object nearby to dislodge the stuck bead. If all else fails, you will have to look for a backup save before the loss.
Is it possible to drive without a bead on the carburetor?
Technically, you can start the engine, but you won’t be able to drive the car normally. The throttle will not engage and the gas pedal will not operate correctly. The car either won’t move or will drive at high speeds without the ability to release the gas, which is dangerous and inconvenient.
Is there a difference between a throttle cable bead and a choke cable bead?
Yes, these are different details. The throttle (throttle) cable bead secures the main speed control cable. For the choke cable, a similar but sometimes different stopper is used. It is important not to confuse them during installation, although visually they are very similar.
How can I prevent losing a bead in the future?
Assemble units over a workbench, use containers for small parts, and do not make sudden movements when working with small parts. It's also a good idea to periodically save before installing critical small components.
