Oil Filter / Crud Catcher Washer

Post by Hahnda » Fri May 30, 2014 11:05 am

It seems like 50% of the time these are missing. My source of used ones dried up and I see them selling for $20 or so on eBay. I found a similar sized shim/washer from McMaster Carr and it looks like it will work just fine. It is slightly smaller in OD then the original but I don't think that will cause any problems. They come in packs of 25 so if anyone gets hard up for one let me know and I can send you one.

Hahnda,

Thanks for simple solution. Much better than $20!

Regards

I just happen to be on the step of engine re-assembly that I am working on this exact piece. The parts manual drawing I have seems to indicate that the washer goes between the filter and the case half. That was my assumption from looking at the picture. It seems you put it between the filter and the outer engine cover. Are you sure that this is where the washer goes? I already put it between the filter and the case half, but I don't want to assemble it wrong, and now is my chance to get it right!

The drawing in the parts manual is a bit misleading. The washer is positioned correctly in the photograph above. If you put the washer against the case, install the filter, and then put a straightedge across the sprockets, they will not be in line. Regards, Chase

Also make sure the pin in the shaft lines up with the slot in the cover before you tighten everything down.

Thanks, guys.

That is how I figured it out, I noticed that the sprockets werent aligned. A better parts manual drawing would have helped.

Just spent a whole day fixing a coil with a wire broken off, on the stator and replacing the insulation on the backside which was falling apart. Just confirmed AC voltage when turning the crank with a drill. Sure is fun working on this engine, and its great to have help for those tough questions! Thanks again.

Not trying to argue but how much misalignment could that thin washer cause? I moved mine to the proper outside position but didn't notice an alignment issue.
