Briggs Stratton 693206 Governor Spring

Product Description

The Briggs Stratton 693206 is a governor spring designed for use in small gasoline engines. The governor spring connects the governor arm to the throttle linkage, maintaining engine speed under varying load conditions by controlling carburetor throttle position. This spring is a direct mechanical component within the governor assembly and plays a critical role in engine speed regulation. Technicians and small engine mechanics install this part during governor system service, carburetor rebuilds, or when the original spring shows fatigue, distortion, or breakage.

This governor spring is used in small air-cooled gasoline engines found in lawn and garden equipment, including walk-behind mowers, riding mowers, and similar outdoor power equipment. It is a factory replacement part suited for residential and light commercial engine applications where governor system integrity is required for proper throttle response and engine protection.

Installation Notes

Governor spring replacement is typically performed by a small engine technician or qualified mechanic. Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning any service to prevent accidental engine start. Correct spring placement on the governor arm and throttle linkage tab is critical to proper governor function; consult the applicable Briggs Stratton engine service manual for hook orientation specific to the engine series being serviced.
