I have a Honda HRJ 216 (engine is a GXV160) which has performed flawlessly for about six years. Last weekend I needed to sharpen the blades and found that the Woodruff Key had sheared as a result of what I thought was a very minor argument with a plastic drain cover and noticed in the manual that there should be something called a Thrust washer between the blade holder and the crankshaft, but all I could see was the remains of a paper thin section of what once might have answered to that description. I live in a major city in Thailand and although there are plenty of Honda retailers and some service places around, no-one appears to have ever seen or heard of a Thrust Washer and I can't even find a detailed close up photo of one online to show them.
I've had to put the mower back together without one, but nervous as to what, if any, damage might result. Any thoughts, and in particular a photo, would be gratefully received!
