I've lost the thrust washer that sits on the outside of the kickstarter shaft - any idea what thickness this one is supposed to be? It's listed as an 18mm Koyo washer.
Oddjob:
It's 1mm thick, check the clutch case as they sometimes stick to the inside of the case.

Following advice from Julie the secret appears to be - don't squeeze it onto the crankcase directly out of the tube - obviously apply to the inverted upper case only
I wore surgical type gloves - applied a small amount less than half an inch directly onto my fore finger then spread it onto the crankcase starting at one end repeating once the finger full had spread as far as it could. Repeat until all applied. I actually put the Hondabond on my left finger then dipped my right fore finger and spread it nice and thinly.I then removed any excess that had spilled over the inside edges. It spreads so thin I found using this method. Sorry if I'm being over descriptive & stating the obvious.
Then assembled making sure I bolted up in correct sequence as per manual keeping my eye on the primary drive assembly etc.

After perfecting this method Ted found that he was quite proficient at doing Prostate exams and now works for the NHS as a freelance poker.

Cheers.
I did take a photo when I was stripping down the engine and noted back then it was missing. Didn't notice anything in the case though at the time.
Oddjob:
I have a spare if you need one.
