it had fallen down into the engine, not a big gap but it did it, clutch back out, no sign of it, searched everywhere around, no sign, opened the cases, poked around, no sign of it, really scratching my head by this stage, thinking maybe it didn't get inside...then spotted it wedged in the kickstart ...
