Overview:
This friction spring is a genuine Yanmar spare designed for the control/governor assembly on compact diesel engines such as the Yanmar L40AE and L48AE.

Replacing a tired or deformed spring restores smooth, predictable control and supports reliable running under vibration and load. Built to Yanmar's original specifications, it offers a precise fit and dependable performance in tough site and garden machinery environments. Suitable for routine maintenance or when resolving speed control issues, this OEM component helps keep your engine steady at idle and responsive under load. Genuine Part.
