OK… so I pulled the c-clip and was able to extract the carbon carrier intact and also remove the o-ring – #13 in the diagram. I didn’t pay close attention when I pulled the carbon carrier but I believe the ridge on the carbon carrier wants to ride against the crank as it spins and the face with the two notches points down towards the prop…. is that correct? I did find at least one source that had the o-ring #13 (http://www.myoldboatmotor.com/oil-seals-individual.html). After pulling #13 through #18 it’s clear that #12 fits around the notch in #11 and those aren’t going anywhere without splitting the case.
