Removed all residue of old gasket, applied gasket sealer, installed new cover plate gasket.
Reassembled all motor components.
Reset governor, started engine, fine tuned throttle control (very touchy). Successful repair.
Note: new governor gear and pin have to be reassembled together before installing on shaft of cover plate. Pin must be located on underside of butterflies, then gear with pin in place must be pushed onto shaft until the three polymer "tits" lock into groove on shaft. Very simple, but there is no instruction ANYWHERE in maintenance or repair manual from Kohler!
