Crank seal replacement and reassembly question...

[LOUD MOUSE]

Part #22,25 and 33. ......lm

The collar keeps the sprocket off of the seal. There should be a small plate for lack of better word, that keeps the sprocket from traveling outward. it's affixed with a 6mm phillips head screw.

Collar? What collar? Plate? Hmm, not here. And what does that 6mm screw affix the "plate" to?

I have a crank seal, then a crankshaft starter sprocket, then a starter clutch in that order. The parts diagram shows nothing else, either. You've got me concerned, now, that I don't have all the parts I should have.

Someone was in there before me so what I have might not be all there ever was?

I think Davo is referring you to a part with the above name which would be 28116-259-000. Item #22 in my parts diagram.

Ok, the little plate that keeps the sprocket from moving outward I have. Affixed by 6mm bolt. Check.

What I don't see is anything that keeps the crankshaft's starter sprocket from hitting against the crank seal. There was nothing in between these two parts when I disassembled it. My thought is that the sprocket basically sits idle and independent of the starter clutch when not being driven by the starter's sprocket and MAYBE the starter's sprocket being outward of the surface of the crank seal keeps the crank's starter sprocket in line?

Thank you.

Now if only one of the three sources I've bought crank seals from would get the damn thing to my house we'd be in business.

Crank seal arrived. Chamfered the edge of the case (thanks for that tip) and used 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive around the edge of the seal and it went in very smoothly.

Only hitch was that the seal needs to be counter sunk into the case about 1mm to allow the starter sprocket to also sit inward. Otherwise, the little plate that holds the starter sprocket from traveling outward will mash the sprocket against the seal and hold it from rotating.
