Description
Overview:
This genuine Honda governor spring is a small but vital engine control component for Honda pedestrian lawnmowers. Made from durable metal, it sits within the governor/throttle linkage to maintain steady engine speed as mowing load changes. By keeping the throttle in balance with the governor, it helps prevent hunting, surging, stalling, or over‐revving, so the mower runs smoothly and cuts consistently. Specified by Honda under MPN 16561-Z1L-870, it provides the correct tension and fit for a range of models, including the HRX476 HX and HRX476 SX. Ideal as a direct replacement for a worn, stretched, or corroded spring, this OEM part supports reliable day‐to‐day operation and forms part of sensible routine servicing on Honda HRX and HRD series machines.
Key Features:
- Genuine Honda OEM part for assured fit and function (MPN 16561-Z1L-870)
- Designed to regulate engine speed for smooth idle and stable running under load
- Durable metal construction for long service life under repeated flexing
- Direct replacement restores correct spring tension and throttle control
- Helps cure hunting, surging, and inconsistent revs caused by a fatigued spring
- Precise fit for listed HRX and HRD models; no modifications required
- Simple to install with basic hand tools during routine maintenance
- Supports efficient cutting performance and protects against over‐revving
Typical Applications:
Replacement during servicing of Honda lawnmowers when the engine hunts, surges, or fails to hold speed under load. Used after carburettor work or cable replacement to restore correct governor action. Suitable for domestic lawns, commercial grounds care, and contractor use where dependable speed control is required for consistent cut quality.
