Could one of you learned folks identify this little fellow.
He came in an RGM engine and gearbox gasket and seal kit.
Approx 5mm diameter.
Where the blazes does it go? (And no rude replies please! )

Too small for that. One of the other seals in the kit matched the spindle seal.

If not the special factory option of O ring for clutch push rod drool, its likely as earlier ID'd above:
Ratchet Spindle 0 ring pn 040079 Group 6 plate no. 9

It's a Concentric carb throttle stop or pilot air adjuster screw O-ring. (Amal part 622/082)

Yes, it's likely a carb ring, which means another customer is missing one ? I got a set of A65 pushrods in one big order so sent 'em back.

L.A.B is onto it I think. Here it is beside it's bigger brothers, a couple of tacho drive seals.
Having one little seal left over at the completion of my rebuild would haunt me.
Thanks!!!
