    Hi mick. You have done this repair properly but I have done this several times successfully by simply applying black bathroom silicone sealant to the cleaned area. It forms a seal just the same and because it remains flexible when dry it doesn’t affect the governors function at all. Just make sure the area is clean and then put a blob in the place where the oil seal would go and clean the excess off with you finger, let it dry overnight and job done.

    Hi Mick I tried this but couldn’t do it, it was the right seal but the engine casing never had the space for an oil seal. Perhaps it was an older engine. Good job 🙂👍

      @@themowerman Why? when I can get advise from the best mower mechanic on TH-cam, myself 😂😂 I remember it was a gcv135 on a 1999 Honda eco, that just had a hole through the casing nothing else, so no way could a seal be fitted, you’ll probably get comments on this video in the future saying that. You have to wonder why Honda have the space but no seal🤔 doesn’t make sense.
