    Help identify this piece? 78 GS550E

    Can anyone help identify this little guy?

    Photo Jul 07, 2 01 28 PM.jpg

    I currently have my crankcase split, and it showed up in the area near where my crankshaft and transmission and the two crank case halves are currently resting.
    All of the remaining parts for the engine are in roughly the same spot however, so really it could be coming from anywhere...

    Any help would be appreciated before I start sealing things back together!

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

            A three-minute response time is certainly quick, but it's not a record. This forum is generally rather quick-moving, many newer members don't realize that. We had one member a couple of years ago that posted a question. Showed up about a week later to see if anyone had responded, whas shocked to find that he had responses from a dozen people in the first hour. Then there were several who were asking "where did you go? We need more info, please post answers to our questions."
