So I was doing some preventative maintenance on one of my generators and decided to pull the glow plugs to put some copper anti-seize on them. I got the plugs out no problem, however I buggered up the copper washers getting them out. With glow plug in hand I thought I would just go to my local NAPA auto parts store and obtain a proper fit copper washer. Well to make a long story short... 5 different auto parts stores, 1 fuel injection shop, a call to a local Onan/Cummins dealer and NO ONE seems to have any copper washers that small. Reference: these are washers for Wellman 6A843GO42K (same as Champion 182 type CH42, Onan 333-0107 old # 333-0104). we are just talking about a simple copper washer, where did they all go??? I am striking out and now my generator is down. ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Anyone have a source for just the washers? According to an earlier post here on SS the washers are 3/8" OD x 1/4" ID x .032" thick. There was also a reference part # for an exact fit at McMaster Carr but when I plug that part number in it does not come up anymore. I don't need anymore spare glow plugs just the washers.
