Additional information

This engine governor linkage shield installs over the governor linkage to help keep dirt, grass, and debris away from moving parts. Part number 951-11108 helps ensure the linkage can move freely so the governor responds correctly to changes in engine load.

If the shield is cracked, loose, or missing, debris can interfere with linkage movement. You may notice uneven engine speed, surging, sticking throttle response, or inconsistent RPMs during operation.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting installation to prevent accidental engine startup. Handle the shield carefully during installation to avoid bending it, and watch for sharp edges around nearby engine components.
