Description
Overview:
The Governor Spring for Honda GXH50 (GCAL) engines is a small but critical metal spring that links into the governor mechanism to control engine speed under changing loads. Identified by MPN 16561 ZM7 D10, it is designed for Honda mini 4‐stroke engines commonly found on compact construction and garden machines. By maintaining a stable RPM, it prevents surging and hunting, supports smooth throttle response, and helps protect the engine from overspeed. This direct-replacement spring is suitable for routine servicing or restoring correct governor operation on GXH50 and GXH50U engines, helping the machine run consistently whether idling or working hard. A correct, well-tensioned governor spring is essential for dependable performance and fuel efficiency across a wide range of light industrial and horticultural equipment.

- Regulates engine speed to keep RPM stable under varying loads
- Direct replacement part to restore correct governor function on GXH50-series engines
