Description

This governor spring is the part that helps control the engine speed on lawn and garden machines in load and no-load operating conditions. Governor springs can decrease or increase engine speed when a lawnmower or other tool is used on different types of terrain or material. When the governor spring isn't working correctly, the engine may run too slow or fast and create engine surges.Visually inspect the governor spring and linkage to see if the operator is working correctly. Do this by moving the throttle from idle to open while watching the governor spring's movement. If it is clockwise, the clamp screw needs to be loosened while the throttle is open before it is tightened again. If this doesn't fix the problem, the spring will need to be replaced. A screwdriver, socket, and other basic tools will be needed to make the replacement. This is a genuine OEM component that is directly sourced from the manufacturer. It fits a variety of lawnmowers, wood chippers, and pressure washers by Cub Cadet, Toro, Craftsman, Lawn-Boy, Simplicity, and Briggs & Stratton. It is sold as a single part.
