Not sure from the size by the picture but maybe is it the one that holds the tach drive in place?

| If it is for the tach drive, it should have a copper sealing washer on it or it'll probably leak oil.

the engine side case bolts (the 4 below the oil level) are supposed to have copper washers on them

I bought the kit from MikesXS I thought it came with mine? Or I had another brain fart and reused my old ones and just don't remember.

The Zen way is to let things sort themselves out. Take that extra screw and drop it in the oil-fill hole. Let it find its own way home.
