mystery washers gx160

[MadKaw]

I'm changing the leaky shaft side cover gasket, and as I finallygot the cover free, there were 2 thin little washers that fell out...I cant for the life if me figure out where they are supposed to go. anybody? I did do a search, but maybe I didnt word it right, just a bunch of stuff about swapping parts between engines.

thanks for any help

the governor removed? usually a couple small washers on the shaft the plastic thingy spins on

one came out with theside cover, the other may have been related to a certain plastic thingy. things get confusing in there...It's hard to tell. :thumbsup:

The only place with them is in the governor area. I'm pretty sure there is one between the plastic gear and block, and one on the outside of the gear (between the gear and the retaining clip). If memory serves me right, as I have removed several, but never reinstalled any..LOL
