Cylinder Fin cover gromets

[Condor]

I'm about ready to start swapping out the fin covers for a set of blacks, and after reading about coolant leaks coming from under the covers I thought I'd go ahead and do a little PM and order new gaskets. After looking at the parts schematic I'm confused. It shows something called a Damper Engine Mount. #37 and #40. And they sure don't look like a seal to me. Are these things rubber, and do they seal anything??

The part you are interested in is #9 on the Crankcase parts breakdown.

Actually I believe they are line #9 & part #90338-11152-00 from the service manual on page 31 in the crankcase area. They are just a rubber plug. I had to replace these on my 96 Royal Star because they were leaking. They just pull out & quick push the new ones in. The covers have a spot on them that just holds pressure against them when they are bolted on. Hope this helps......

Thanks guys... I sure would have missed that one. Just called my local Y dealer, and the kid quoted me $8.11 ea. out the door. Boatparts has them at $4.74 ea plus shipping. Think I need to do a little online shopping.

Check the shipping cost before you order,,, I have found that some places have a fix shipping on small things that is out ragious. I got the plugs from Family Powersports, because the shipping was reasonable 9 or so bucks as opposed to 27,,

Oh yeah... I hear ya!! I've canceled many online orders right at the end because the shipping didn't match the purchase. The trouble is that a lot of the larger estores try to make up on a sale price by packing the shipping cost. Four of these plugs should run around $2 bucks to ship... $1 buck for the stamps and $1 buck for the padded envelope, but I can live with $5 flat rate USPS. Any more than that and they get 'X'd'....

Hey Jack,

 

I don't know when the last time you changed/flushed your coolant, but since you are going to be replacing those plugs it really isn't that much more work to go ahead and do the coolant too.

 

Just a thought.

Yep... flushing the coolant is on my 2do list Rick. Any time I can do two things at once... like walking and chewing gum... it's a good thing....

Just called my local Y dealer again and talked to the parts dept mgr.. What a difference. The kid quoted me $8.11 out the door, but apparently they have me set up as a resaler and this time it was $2.85 each. Much better. I love it when things go my way.....
