Cross Reference Information

Description

The governor spring controls engine speed on a lawn and garden machine under both no-load and load operating conditions. The governor spring can increase and decrease engine speed when using a lawnmower or other tool as it moves over different types of terrain. If this part isn’t working correctly, it can cause the engine to run too slow or fast or may cause engine surges. Inspecting the governor spring and linkage is the first step to take to ensure the operator is working freely. This can be done by moving the throttle from idle to open while watching how the governor shaft moves. If clockwise, the clamp screw should be loosened with the throttle open before being retightened. If this doesn’t handle the issue, replacing the governor spring is required. This is a genuine OEM product coming directly from the manufacturer. It is designed for use with Briggs & Stratton, Cub Cadet, Simplicity, and Craftsman lawnmowers, wood chippers, tillers, log splitters, and pressure washers. This component is sold individually. A socket, screwdriver, and other tools may be needed to undertake this replacement.
