Additional information

This curved washer, part number 3-7501, adds a contoured bearing surface between fastened parts to help distribute load and accommodate slight misalignment. Proper placement can improve how evenly clamped components sit during operation.

If hardware loosens over time, parts shift slightly, or you notice uneven wear near the fastener area, a worn, damaged, or missing curved washer may be the cause. Visible distortion or flattened edges can reduce how well it functions.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire or power source to prevent accidental starting. Place the curved washer in the correct orientation between components, then tighten fasteners evenly so parts remain aligned and secure.
