mikekot3 92 #2 Posted August 2, 2015 Hi snow hound !!I live nearby you in Amherst. I would think there is a shaft seal that is worn. Try getting a seal at boyden and perron in Amherst ma. Perhaps I could take a look at it this coming week after work?mike 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 15,912 #3 Posted August 2, 2015 There is no separate seal on the governor shaft and oil pushing through it is usually caused by crankcase pressure.The breather could be clogged or installed backwards. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
