Hey guys... i just removed my CDI cable, or the plug that goes to the spark plug, and i found out that a piece of metal had fallen out. It is a small bronze cylinder with some small holes in it...

would this be a problem?

Yep that would be a problem. You can get a common 7mm solid wire core spark plug cable from many auto parts stores. The CDI side of your wire is just cork screwed in righty tighty lefty loosy. It is good to put Dy-electric grease on both ends when you put it together too.

If you are lucky you might be able to solder your original cable back together but really they are crappy get a better spark plug cable .

Yea that brass thing fell out on me too on both my engines, You can kinda just put it back on the sparkplug and jam the boot back on, but it never really goes back togethor right and falls apart every time you remove it.. theres also a spring behind the brass thing.

Really, your better off buying a proper boot and a normal sparkplug with the little nub on the end. They stay togethor forever, Insted of.. a week.

WildAlaskan: hahaha when I replaced sparkplugs I did exactly that, Except I used the 'cap' of the sparkplug as a nut to hold the wire :) Just keep them fingers clear or ZAP.
