Description
Overview:
These Governor Weights are genuine Villiers parts for horizontal Light Weight engines, used to control engine speed via the mechanical governor. Built in steel to the original Villiers specification, they respond to centrifugal force to keep revs steady under changing load, protecting the engine and improving driveability. Suitable for classic Villiers horizontal engines including 150cc and 512h, they are identified by OEM number 27342. As unused old stock from the period, the parts are authentic and correct for restoration or maintenance of vintage machinery; minor age-related tarnish or surface dirt may be present, which does not affect function. A direct, like-for-like replacement to restore reliable governing performance on engines that hunt, surge, or fail to hold a consistent speed.
