500 clutch spacer washer
500 clutch spacer washer
I’m in the long slow process of re-assembling my 500 motor and keep identifying missing bits. The latest is when assembling clutch I am missing part number (according to the parts manual) 21.01.90 which is described as a ‘spacer washer’. Mdina parts search don’t recognise it. Is it essential and if so where can I get one? Or will an ordinary washer suffice?
Re: 500 clutch spacer washer
My understanding is there is a clutch shim washer, too thick and the clutch drum can bind on the centre hub.
Mdina do seem to have these listed under clutch shim 0.9 ir 0.7mm. Needs a bit of trial and error.

Re: 500 clutch spacer washer
Thanks for that. I have purchased both these shims from Mdina, assuming they were the part I needed, however they don’t fit on the clutch shaft so my second assumption was that although they are the correct part, maybe they were for another model. Maybe some gentle work with some emery paper is the answer. It won’t be the first time!

Re: 500 clutch spacer washer
These shims/washers are of diferent size for 350 and 500 acording to the shaft.
O,1-1mm are available (no specific morini parts) in special shops.to reach a propper distancia with minimal gap between gasket an drum, just turning freely.
The 500 ones have to be placed unter the stepped schaft distancia with the primario housing apart because of its outer dimension. The 350 ones you can mount, without taking off the primario housing.
If you take off some material from the outer diameter from the 500 ones, you can mount them as well without taking off the housing. A sharp nail scissor can cut a thin shim like that (have done it several times).
