This governor spring is an OEM part direct from Briggs & Stratton. Compatible with many small, lawn and garden engines, the metal spring creates the necessary tension for the throttle. This in turn, manages the speed of the engine. A pair of pliers and a screwdriver are needed for the installation. The governor spring is sold individually.

Little in size. Big in performance.
For such a small part. It makes a huge difference in how my mower runs. The part came in early and was cheaper than others.

Exactly what I ordered
Needed the governor spring for my 10+ year old lawnmower. As always, easy to find on EReplacementParts and exact fit. Thanks for a great service and prices.

I ordered from Briggs &Stratton and they gave me the wrong part. I order the same parts and received them fast and the correct part.
I will always order from ereplacementparts. You have quick and diligent service.

1 Removed Air Filter
2 Removed Primer bulb holder plate Just Three (3) bolts
3 Used Flat Head Screw driver to pry primer bulb holder from plate. Much easier to do it with the plate off.
4 Inserted new primer bulb into holder and used a Socket to push it into holder and secure it.
5Scraped off old Air Filter gasket and replaced it with a new one.I actually used two gaskets just in case the primer bulb plate was bent or warped...Better seal that way.
6 Removed old Governor Spring with Needle nose pliers and replaced it with a new one.
put it back together except for the cover..
7 Started it up and used a digital RPM monitor and adjusted my RPMs to 3100-3200 RPMs..
Runs beautiful.. I believe It is a 200 21" Toro Self Pacer..

Remove the cover from the top of the carburetor.
Watch videos on Google many times.
It was somewhat aggravating for me. I'm an older woman with no experience mechanically.
My son came over and we figured it out together.
The lawnmower is working fine now.
I do wish that there would be a small diagram (with the parts) showing how the parts connect to the other parts
It would have been so much easier.
