Seems my tech i believe to be like 8 hp got from a snowblower is leakin out the shaft for the governor Anybody know what sort of seal it is an O-ring perhaps ? Hate to pull it apart not knowing. is there even a seal or maybe the case is worn. leaks like a sieve though. Help

Is the oil overfilled?

No seal on the medium and small frames

Maybe a washer...no gasket or seal. Again...check your oil level and report back.

I was told by the men who raced Tote Gotes: If you are running above 3600 RPM, you need to reduce the amount of oil in the crankcase. Don't fill up to the recommended level, always run clean fresh oil (they also used oil additives: STP or Lucas Oil Stabilizer).
