http://beta3.mine.nu/pics/nopistons.jpg Alright, these two both screw into the lower intake manifold. They have a small plastic tube that runs to them, and if you'll notice the right one is intact while the left one is broken. How important are these, what do they do, and can i fix it without buying a new one?? Thanks.

They are part of the oil metering system, you do need them unless you remove the entire system cap off all openings and run pre-mix. The oil metering tubes are available at several locations including the dealer.

I just replaced mine like a week ago...when I ordered the one I broke, and started to instal it, I broke another one. You might want to consider buying all of them, or you might extend your project by ordering one, breaking one, ordering another, etc...or you could remove the broken one, and see how fragile the other 3 are...they're very breakable if they're old (at least mine were).
