Washer — spring, gear spindle nut
A spring washer fitted under the gear spindle nut in the crankcase timing gear assembly.

The catalog shows this washer turning up in the crankcase and timing gear listings, so it lives down in the timing chest area where the timing gears are mounted on their spindles. It's a small, easy-to-overlook part, but it's the kind of thing that's worth replacing any time you have that nut off, since a spring washer that's lost its tension won't do its job of keeping things tight.
