I know everything serves a purpose. And I'm wanting to know what the wavy washer does? It's a very thin almost shim with a cut out for the woodruff key . It's set on top of the timing cam and the flywheel sets on it when assembled. Thanks for explanations.

Re: Wavy washer
I think it does the same job of a split washer, that it it holds to the load better because it takes pressure to squash

Did you even read the thread?
He's asking about the wave washer in a Vespa Ignition setup.
Re: Wavy washer
Dirty, I was wondering if they should be renewed as part of the engine overhaul? Also thrust washers are flat washers. (edited)
Re: Wavy washer
Les, knowing your problems from the other thread these are not wave washer related.
I've only ever reused wave washers

Agreed and same here . ;)
Just in case :
Google :
"Wave washers—also commonly referred to as wave springs or coiled wave springs—are used to absorb stress due to axial compressive loads, acting as a cushion. "
