MZ TS250 neutral detent bearing HELP!
Posted: Mon Feb 26, 2018 6:26 pmEvening all,
I'm in the slow process of putting my TS250 4 speed engine back together. The engine was partially dissembled when I got it and I've discovered a small, but important part is missing.
On the underside of the engine there is what looks like a second oil drain plug, but this is spring loaded and should have a ball bearing at the top which acts as a neutral detent (whatever that is!). I have the spring and the nut but no ball bearing, I can only assume that the last owner has lost it. I think it's just a ball bearing that I need, but what size? I have been told by Martin from Burwins motorcycles that he thinks it's 3/16. Does anyone know it that's correct?
Thanks in advance Tim
