NOTE: Make sure governor lever is against cup on

RTV is used as a gasket between closure plate and
crankcase. Refer to Tools and Aids for a listing of
approved sealants. Always use fresh sealant. Using
outdated sealant can result in leakage.
1. Check to be sure sealing surfaces of crankcase and
closure plate are clean and free of nicks or burrs.
2. Install dowel pins if they were removed in
disassembly.
3. Apply a 1.5 mm (1/16 in.) bead of RTV sealant to
sealing surface of closure plate. See sealant pattern.
Closure plate must be installed within 5 minutes of
sealant being applied for proper sealing to occur.
