Engine replacement on a Roques et Lecoeur RL208 lawnmower with a Honda GSV190

Remplacement moteur sur une tondeuse Roques et Lecoeur RL208 avec honda GSV190

On a 2010 Rocques et Lecoeur RL208 lawnmower, I need to replace a Honda GCV190 engine. It has the Honda reference - 910303. It is type 1 (Honda manual) with flywheel brake and controlled throttle.

Replacement with the Honda GSV190 - N1G7 (25.4mm x 80mm shaft, without blade brake).

Compared to this tutorial, it turns out that on the 'Roques et Lecoeur RL 208' the original throttle lever (which did not stop with the GCV190) does not need a stroke modification to also ensure the GSV190 stop control (ignition stop, of course without braking).

So I was able to remove the handle and cable which originally provided the stop by ignition and braking ('dead man' safety function) as seen in the last image (no more red handle on the left).

Of course, caution will be required of the user, as well as good shoes and shin guards.
