Description
Overview:
This Genuine Honda Governor Spring (MPN 16561-ZL0-U30) is a small but vital control spring used on Honda GX160 and GX200 general-purpose petrol engines. Made from durable spring steel with a corrosion-resistant, bright finish, it links the governor arm to the throttle to balance engine speed under changing loads. By maintaining stable RPM, it supports smooth running, better fuel control, and reliable output from your machinery. Designed as a direct-fit replacement for worn or stretched springs, it is suitable for common Honda applications such as generators, pumps, compactors, and other equipment powered by GX160 or GX200 engines. A precise fit for the original linkage on models including GX160U1 and GX200UT, it helps prevent hunting, surging, and irregular idle, restoring dependable performance.

Typical Applications:
Used on Honda GX160 and GX200 powered equipment including portable generators, water pumps, pressure washers, plate compactors, concrete mixers, tillers, and small construction or garden machinery. Ideal when the engine speed wanders under load, the idle becomes unstable, or after governor linkage maintenance where a fresh, correctly tensioned spring is needed.
