Title: Spacer
Post by: sens on January 01, 2024, 16:50:31

Hello!

First of all: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I'm ashamed, but I have a very stupid question.
I removed my M130 engine from my Pagoda. Everything went very well.
But when I removed the clutch housing from the engine, some sort of spacer fell into the housing.

It just fell from heaven; I have absolutely no idea where it comes from.

Outer diam 15 mm
Inner diam 9 mm
Height 8 mm

Any ideas where this came from?

Thanks!
Halvor

That’s not the spacer that goes on the power steering pump mount is it?

Looking at the dimensions and from my memory it’s probably not.

That was my first thought, but the post said it came out of ball clutch housing. I do not know the manual clutch housing at all, so could not tell...

Hi,
maybe a part of the old (230/250) clutch press plate.

Guys,

You are absolutely fantastic!
Power steering pump!!!

I probably left it somewhere on the engine and it fell in the clutch house. Nothing to do with the clutch.

The spacer fits 100% as I can see by the oil traces.

Hi,

I had not my day last week, because I fully confused you and myself with that spacer. Sorry...
The spacer on the first pictures belongs to the steering pump holder.

However the spacer I meant is the one on the last pictures.
It fits exactly in the bearing at the end of the clutch shaft (ring bearing).
But I can't find any drawing with these parts on it.
Does not make any sense to me... where does it belong?
Anyone knows??

I think I will replace it anyway.

Could it be the part at the right bottom?

Any suggestions where it belongs??

Your confusing me? The heavy spacer definately used on the power steering bracket. The thin, round sheet metal cover keeps dirt out of the pilot bearing at the back end of the crankshaft.

Yes Joe,

The first heavy spacer is for the power steering bracket! Exactly!

But the second one on the last pictures?

I think we are confused on which last picture you are talking about. You sent a bunch of pictures.

Yes, you are right, Kevkeller...
Sorry about that...

I mean the spacer in picture no. 7015.
It is also present in picture no. 7016 (in the middle of the bearing) and no. 7017.
