Description
Overview:
The Governor Rod fits Honda GHX50 and GXH50 small engines and is a genuine Honda component that helps control engine speed via the governor mechanism. Built from durable metal, it is designed for regular service conditions found in compact plant and garden machinery. This rod links the governor assembly to the throttle to stabilise revs under changing load, supporting smooth running and protecting the engine from over‐speed. Supplied to OEM specification with Honda reference 16555-ZM7-000 (MPN 16555ZM7000), it offers a direct replacement for worn or bent rods. Suitable for tradespeople maintaining site equipment as well as DIY users servicing Honda mini 4‐stroke engines.
