Larry,
No lock washer needed. At least, not used originally. Flat washer
is a special item--about 1 7/16" diameter X abut 5/32" thick--don't know if
it is hardened. I have plenty of these washers, as I have stripped many of
these engines and am storing ALL the parts-large and small. Give me your
address and I will be happy to ship one off to you no chargRegards, Dave
Kernberger
