yea, heres the part number for the one I bought 13350-ha2-000. it would be a good idea to rebuild your waterpump and defietly order a counterbalancer holder(they are known the crack and destroy alot of stuff), the o-ring 91308-500-010. Hinson sells a real nice counterbalancer holder for $70, and it might be smart to go as far to inspect/replace your cluth as to get to the counterbalancer the cluth needs to come out. I repalced my kicker gears at the same time. Definetly order a cluth cover gasket and possibly a stator cover gasket. I broke my cluth cover gasket during the process, and also to make things easier on you order a wahser lock nut 90445-KAE-000, as the old one may be used alot and hard to remove/rebend over the nut again.

Yes that is very good advice, deathman53. Balancer bearing failure can result in busted cases and a thoroly wrecked motor.

you wanna see pics of what happens? that happened to a motor of mine,the bearing exploded, took out the crank, broke the cases(ball bearings flew everywhere) and pitted the cases, destroyed the counterbalncer, holder, all the gears are good, cluth was good, not much else was good.
