Description
Overview:
The Governor Arm for Honda GX390 and GX340K1 (GC05) engines is a genuine Honda component designed to control and stabilise engine speed under changing loads. Made from robust metal with a corrosion-resistant finish, it links the governor mechanism to the throttle to deliver smooth, consistent RPM. This helps prevent hunting or over-revving, protecting the engine and attached equipment. Built specifically for Honda GX390 and GX340 series engines, it provides an accurate fit and reliable operation in demanding site and garden environments. Ideal for maintaining performance on equipment powered by the GX390 or GX340K1, this arm supports correct governor function so your machine starts easily, responds predictably, and runs efficiently. OEM reference: 16551 ZE3 000. Genuine Part by Honda.
