Additional information
This engine governor spring bracket mounts near the governor linkage and provides a fixed point for the governor spring. Part number 951-11104 helps maintain proper tension so the governor can respond correctly to load changes and throttle input.
If the bracket bends, loosens, or breaks, the governor spring may not stay in the correct position. This can cause uneven engine speed, surging, 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 avoid bending it, as proper alignment is important for accurate governor operation.
