Additional information
This engine governor arm bracket mounts near the governor assembly and provides a fixed mounting point for the governor arm. Part number 951-11307 helps keep the governor linkage aligned so the engine can adjust speed correctly as load conditions change.
If the bracket bends, cracks, or comes loose, the governor arm may not move smoothly. This can cause engine surging, uneven RPMs, poor throttle response, or difficulty maintaining a steady operating speed.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. Handle the bracket carefully during installation and make sure it stays properly aligned, since misalignment can affect governor operation.
