Description
Overview:
The Throttle Return Spring is a small but essential control component for Honda GC-series petrol engines. Made from durable metal, it provides the tension that returns the throttle to idle when you release the control, helping to prevent racing, hunting and poor idle stability. This Genuine Honda part is built to match the original spring rate and length for reliable operation and a correct fit on the factory linkage. It is commonly used on compact four-stroke engines that power garden and light construction equipment, including the Honda GC135 and GC135E. Supplied as a direct replacement under Honda part number 16562-ZL8-800 (also referenced as 16562ZL8800), it supports consistent engine response and helps maintain safe, predictable control in everyday use.
Key Features:
- Genuine Honda part for assured fit and function on GC/GS engines
- Provides positive return to idle for smoother running and better control
- Durable metal spring designed to resist wear and fatigue in regular use
- Direct replacement for 16562-ZL8-800 / 16562ZL8800 with OEM geometry
- Helps reduce engine hunting and over-revving when the throttle is released
- Straightforward installation onto the existing governor/throttle linkage
- Maintains stable idle and consistent throttle response after servicing
- Suitable for preventative maintenance or restoring correct operation after loss of spring tension
Typical Applications:
Used on Honda GC/GS engines fitted to lawnmowers, pressure washers, water pumps, small tillers, generators and similar equipment. Ideal when the engine fails to return to idle, idles erratically, or after linkage work, carburettor service, or cable replacement where a fresh, correctly rated return spring is required.
Also known as:
Throttle spring, governor return spring, carburettor return spring, engine return spring, throttle linkage spring, governor spring.
