Carb. Synch Plug Washer

[GSJim69]

I just noticed that a couple of the washers under the screw that plugs the synch port is missing. Is this any kind of special washer or is it just a flat washer?
It is on my new to me '82 GS850G.

Thanks

I would think that they would just be plain ole flat washers.. thats the way they are on my 450.

I always thought they were soft copper so they seal.

My 1100 has copper washers...I think they are original....

This issue just became small. One of the bolts just broke off in the head. I'll take another crack at it tomorrow.

Isn't it on the intake on the 850?
The washers are copper and need to be so they seal.

Oh they are copper or some soft, non magnetic metal! Dropped one yesterday into the nether region behind the starter. . It is eluding me!

I'll be getting some on order from the dealer today.
After work I will tackle the broken bolt.

Thanks
