On a different note, I have an issue.


I took some stuff to have polished on friday  which consisted of the following.........
chain guard
rear brake pedal
kickstart and boss
Points cover
4 exhaust clamps                                  All rechromed   
2 fork ears
grab rail



clutch cover
stator cover
2 x rims
front hub
sprocket cover                                       polishing only

while emptying the box of gubbins at the bench in the factory, I see this widget thing in the bottom of the box. I've obviously missed it on stripping the motor as it was such a gooey mess and it finally showed itself in this box of bits.

I have never seen it before but after going through the parts fich pages for all the bits that were taken, and a few extra pages; I see that there are several of these in the engine that have different measurements to what I have but are associated wth the bits I dropped off. I thought that being the best placet to start looking.

You can see from the piccies that the sizes are way different so after going all through my bagged bits this morning I cant identify its home. Can any of you lot help?
Obviously I don have the bits and so cant match it up which is making things a bit tricky tbh......!

I dont think its any of these and havent found any more in those area on the fiche's, any of you recognise it and suggest a good home for it?

24261-374000 Fork gearshift pin guide (gear cluster)
94303-08140 PIN C Dowel 8 x 14
94301-08140 PIN A Dowel stator 8 x 14
94302-06100 PIN dowel 6 x 10 sprocket cover

The sizes are nothing like I have so could it be wear? Basically got well muddled up and cant get me head round it......Anyone?

I've got a load of the different engine dowels in stock Roo,  I'll have a measure up to see if I can work it out. Are you sure it's not from the starter clutch?

is it off the stator cover, a locating pin?

It's solid so that limits what it can be. Not a casing dowel as those are hollow. To small to be a crankcase dowel as those are far bigger.

Few things come to mind.

Locating pin from the crankcases for the gearbox needle roller bearings.
Gear fork engagement pin, goes under the circlip.
Starter clutch as Julie says. Should be 3 in there.

My money is on the locating pins.

The nearest I can come up with after what was transported in the box, the measurements and the state of it. I think it might be from the back of the sprocket cover as it’s half a mil out on both measurements, it’s a bit mank on over half it’s length  so it’s been shoved in somewhere.

The fiche shows two of them, I’ve got one, still described as a dowel but it’s solid.

Thoughts?

Also I’m after new oil control valves for the barrels, anyone got any or am I getting stung for a new set from Mr Silverino?

Never been able to get those out Roo as there is so little of the projecting so not enough for any purchase to pull them out.

 I’ve got some oil control valves somewhere

That’s the thing mate, all three bits that have similar widgets were all in the same box and without the cases I don’t know. I’m going back down the polishers tmrw to have a look and take the rear mudguard in etc as I forgot it cos I’m blonde

I’ve got some solid dowels like that soaking in brake cleaner after dismantling the 2 550 engines I just bought. I’ll see if I can measure them and see how they compare, I’ve also got a starter clutch lying about so I’ll check those as well.

Oil control valves FOC to you mate, I’ll throw them in with the other bits.
