Additional Information

The snowblower engine governor spring, part number 951-11202, connects to the governor linkage and applies tension that helps control engine speed. It allows the governor system to react to changes in load while the engine is running.

You might notice the engine speed fluctuates, surges unexpectedly, or fails to respond smoothly when load changes. In some cases, the engine may run too fast or bog down because the governor can no longer maintain proper tension.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The spring is small and installed near moving linkages, so work gloves can help protect your hands while handling the part. Install the spring in the same orientation as the original and confirm the linkage moves freely before reconnecting the spark plug wire.

Governor spring 951-11202 replaces part number 751-11202.
