Briggs Stratton 690710 Governor Spring

Product Description

The BRIGGS STRATTON 690710 is a governor spring designed for use in small gasoline engines manufactured by Briggs Stratton. The governor spring connects to the governor arm and throttle linkage assembly, maintaining the tension necessary to regulate engine speed under varying load conditions. It is a direct OEM replacement component installed by small engine technicians and qualified service professionals performing governor system repairs or overhauls on outdoor power equipment.

This governor spring is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor power equipment applications, including walk-behind lawn mowers, riding mowers, and other small engine-driven equipment that use Briggs Stratton engines equipped with a mechanical governor system. It is typically replaced during governor system servicing when the original spring shows signs of fatigue, deformation, or loss of tension that results in unstable engine speed or hunting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified small engine technician. Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning any governor linkage service to prevent accidental engine start. Use care when routing and attaching the spring to avoid overstretching, which can permanently alter tension characteristics. After installation, verify governed speed with a tachometer before returning the equipment to service.
