Here is a genuine replacement governor shaft that can be used with many types of small engines. The metal governor shaft is used in the cylinder cover to help hold the governor spool and the gear. Without a properly functioning governor shaft, it will cause performance issues with the machine. The shaft is made from metal, and it is durable. However, there may still be a need to replace it at some point. It could have become corroded or damaged, or it could have become lost during another repair. Regardless of the reason, owners will want to replace it sooner rather than later. A wrench and pliers will be needed to make the replacement. This is an authentic OEM part that is the same as the original on the machine. It is sold individually. The part can work with many makes and models of lawnmower, snowblower, log splitter, generator, wood chipper, pressure washer, and other small engines. Compatible brands include Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Toro, Tecumseh, Lawn-Boy, Snapper, MTD, and Simplicity.
