Description
Overview:
This Genuine Honda governor assembly is a precision engine control part for small petrol engines, including the GHX50 and GC160. Built from robust metal components with high‐quality polymer elements where required, it uses a centrifugal mechanism to regulate throttle position and keep engine speed stable as load changes. Consistent engine speed helps protect against overspeed, reduces hunting at idle, and supports smooth operation across a range of tools and machines used in construction, landscaping, and garden care. As an OEM component, it matches original Honda specifications for fit and performance, making it a dependable choice for routine maintenance or repair. OEM reference 16510‐ZL8‐000 confirms authenticity and ensures the correct geometry for linkage and governor arm movement.
Key Features:
- Genuine Honda part for accurate speed control and reliable performance
- Direct-fit OEM assembly to restore original governor operation
- Durable metal construction for long service life in demanding environments
- Helps maintain steady rpm under varying load, reducing hunting and stalling
- Supports smooth idle and protects against overspeed
- Precisely machined components for consistent response and repeatability
- Compatible with a wide range of Honda GC/GX small engines (see Fits Models)
- Suitable for routine maintenance to reduce downtime and improve running quality
Typical Applications:
Used on Honda-powered equipment such as generators, water pumps, pressure washers, compactors, cement mixers, tillers, lawn and garden machinery, and light construction tools. Ideal when engines surge, hunt, or fail to hold a set speed under load, or after internal governor wear has affected throttle control.
Also known as:
Governor assembly, speed governor, rpm governor, throttle governor, centrifugal governor, engine speed controller, governor kit, governor control assembly.
