    Upper one is definitely a cowling drain. If they're coming out- replace them (they've likely shrunk, and won't remain in place).

    The spring.... not sure where that one came from. Is the Thermal Air Valve (on the starboard cylinder head) still intact?

    Or possibly, has the pulse fuel pump been apart (MIGHT be one of the springs from inside the pump).

    I would find a new mechanic for my boat if I were you.
