Description
Overview:
The Governor Rod - Robin Part - RB279 42701 23 is a metal linkage used on small petrol engines to control and stabilise engine speed. It connects the governor mechanism to the throttle, keeping RPM steady under changing loads so tools run efficiently and safely. Built from durable metal for long service life, it is suited to construction and garden equipment such as plate compactors, generators, water pumps, lawn mowers and tillers using Robin/Subaru-type engines. The rod is designed to follow the original linkage path for reliable movement and repeatable settings, making it a practical choice for routine maintenance or repairs. Suitable for trade users and DIY, it installs using standard hand tools and the existing clips or springs on your machine. Reference: RB279 42701 23.
