Description
Overview:
The Governor Lever - 28573 is a genuine Villiers engine control component designed to regulate engine speed for consistent running under varying loads. Built from durable metal for long service life, it links the governor mechanism to the throttle to keep revs steady and prevent overspeeding or "hunting". This lever is well suited to vintage Villiers-powered machinery such as older lawn mowers, rotovators, pumps, and small generators used in workshops, on building sites, or in gardens. Supplied as unused old stock, it may show cosmetic signs of age such as light tarnish or storage marks, but remains fully functional. Identified by OEM No. 28573, it is a practical replacement for restoring correct governor operation on classic Villiers engines maintained by tradespeople, restorers, and DIY users.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part for correct fit and reliable operation
- OEM No. 28573 for straightforward identification and ordering
- Robust metal construction for durability and wear resistance
- Helps stabilise engine RPM under load, improving performance and efficiency
- Suitable for vintage Villiers engines used in mowers, rotavators, pumps, and generators
- Unused old stock: functionally unused, with possible cosmetic ageing (tarnish or storage dirt)
- Direct like-for-like replacement where the original lever is worn, bent, or missing
- Supports smooth throttle response and reduces surging or "hunting"
- Practical for workshop repairs and field maintenance with standard hand tools
Typical Applications:
Used to restore proper speed control on vintage Villiers-powered equipment, including classic lawn mowers, horticultural machinery, compact generators, water pumps, and stationary engines. Ideal when refurbishing older machines that need stable idle and governed top speed for safe, efficient running in domestic, commercial, or site environments.
