Additional information
This governor gear installs inside the engine and responds to engine speed changes to help control throttle movement. Lawn and garden equipment engine governor gear 532429646 works with the governor shaft and linkage to maintain steady engine operation as load conditions change.
If the engine surges, runs at inconsistent speeds, or does not respond smoothly under load, the governor gear may be worn or damaged. Broken teeth, binding movement, or erratic throttle behavior are common signs the gear needs replacement.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair. Drain engine oil and remove engine components carefully to access the governor gear. Install the gear in the correct orientation, confirm free movement after installation, and secure all components properly before restoring power.
