Description
A governor spool is a type of gear. It is designed for use with pieces of outdoor lawn and garden power equipment that have small engines, such as a lawn mower, a snow blower, a tiller, a pressure washer, a generator, and a wood chipper. It is compatible with products by brands such as Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Toro, Troy-Bilt, Tecumseh, Lawn Boy, Snapper, MTD, and Simplicity.The governor spool part is a very important part of small engines. That's because the governor spool is a mechanism that controls engine speed by using gears and flyweights inside the crankcase. It detects changes in the load and then adjusts the throttle accordingly to tackle the task. The purpose of the governor spool is to push against the governor crank, which is an “L” shaped shaft with a wide, flat end. This shaft fits though the block, and the governor arm is connected to part of that shaft.The replacement or repair process of the governor spool should be straightforward, but the user replacing the part should always be sure to wear gloves during any assembly, replacement, or installation processes. The user should also refer to the owner's manual of their equipment and any guiding diagrams that clarify the placement location. This governor spool is an original OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, Tecumseh. It is sold individually.
