I'm looking for a 12mm rubber plug located in the top of the right side
crankcase of a honda qa50 engine. A used one will be fine. If you have
a junk engine sitting around please email me.
The part can be seen here in this diagram. It is labelled #14. THANKS!

If used rubber is OK, why not just use some plumbers putty to stop up the
hole? I assume the only purpose of the plug is to stop crap from falling
into the crankcase. If so, plumbers putty should work, though it won't look
as "finished". -Dave

The hole is also a crankcase vent so it' can't be plugged completely.
The oem honda plug somehow allows pressure to escape but not oil.

It's Honda part number 90801-083-000.
It's all of $1.57 at http://www.servicehonda.com (plus $7 shipping),
or $1.77 at http://www.ronayers.com (plus $8 shipping) so your local
Honda dealer probably won't charge more than about $4-5 for it.

Thanks but I already ordered one from service honda online. I figured
since I was getting the rubber plug I'd get a spark plug too. I can get
the spark plug local for about $2.
Service honda let me order the rubber plug but when I recieved the
package a week later there was only a spark plug inside! I paid $11 for
a damn spark plug! The slow UPS ground shipping was $9!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
I called and found out that the rubber plug is no longer availible.
Thanks for telling me that when I ordered it!
I'll try ron ayers tomorrow. Thank you.
