Hi everyone,

I’m new here and new to Kirby engines as well so bear with me.

My Scotty 20in has a Kirby HK30 that leaks oil from where the governor shaft enters the crankcase. Video attached showing movement of approximately one to two mm. Is this repairable? Either permanently or temporarily.

Thanks in advance for any advice. I really appreciate it. I’d love to keep the old girl running it otherwise starts and runs really well.

Hope the vid appears ok new to that as well. I could not get the file size below the limit

Kind regards,
Mags

Just a thought, make sure the crank breather is not blocked
