Default Injection Limiter adjustment

Say, I just discovered that there is a plate that allows access to the
injector limit spring and mechanism on my engine without having to pull the
whole rear cover off. Take a look at your engine, I'll bet it has something
similar.


Ok, I just pulled the cover off. In as much as I can see anything it
all looks fine. The hole is a lot smaller than it looks on the
drawings... The little spring loaded rod that comes out of the limiter
follows the throttle crank through its entire motion and appears to
operate smoothly. I can't really see all the springs towards the
tranny end of the motor but they are there. The whole assy is nicely
oiled and looks lovely. I did tear the gasket while removing the
plate. Any thoughts on whether I need to order the Yanmar part or if
I can get away with some other method (eg. goo or paper)?

I pondered the injection limiter and I can't see any way to fiddle w/
it w/o breaking the seal. Unlike the drawings the seal is through the
cap nut rather than the lock nut... Hmmmm....
