No,all that is missing from what i know from what you have said is the rod(is it called the main rod?) that connects to the crank,and the broken crank and the the tiny screw that holds the rod to the crank.

Hi,Olsens doesnt have #333 parts that I can see!How do I email you?I sent you a friend request.Thanx for your help!

[wallyworld]

Sure...Ill give it a shot. From the picture the connecting rod and drive rod are still there. Are any rivets missing or are they just malformed ( damaged) ?

[johnnyt]

Yes that is what you are seeing, the crank is broken and the screw and the (is it called the main rod?)is missing,can I email you pics of it ?I have them of both side!Thanx,John

I cannot enlarge the avatar to the point where I have a good view. It looks like the eccentric rod is not connected on either side, while the rod is still connected to the engine body only.by it's center pin.(?)

I cannot tell much by the size of the image. You could try Olsen's..
