This special washer is used on the throttle shaft of Weber DCOE (including 48 DCO) and IDA (Dual) carburetors. It has a round perimiter but a rectangular slot. This positions it in a precise spot on the non-linkage end of the throttle shaft, ensuring that the linkage on the other end does not bind. Sold individually, one required per carburetor.
Note that this washer is now listed by Weber as part number 55555.010.
VW aircooled engines can also use this washer to replace the second, non-sprung throttle lever (45034.017) on boxer engines. This washer was not originally used on the IDF.
Not for 50 DCO, 55 DCO, or 3-barrel IDA. Not guaranteed to fit licensed copies or knock-off carburetors.
