Your'e lucky if the oil ends up somewhere useful. Puddles of oil saw me banished from the office car park to an unsurfaced yard 1/4 mile away: that was bad news!  :(

If you do get around to replacing that seal, you really need to have the shaft ground, which in turn means stripping the engine. Otherwise the new seal might last 20 miles if you're lucky.

Someone bought my P4203 to fit in a boat. Much more appropriate and at least you can control where you empty the oily bilge water.  :)

I had a series like that, never needed an oil change, got a rolling one every month or so with the leaks and burning, just change the filter now and again :lol:

The injector pump has a govenor inside so there is always the possibility of making it rev a little more.
