Briggs Stratton 694868 Governor Spring Link

Product Description

The BRIGGS STRATTON 694868 is a mechanical governor spring and link assembly used in small gasoline engines to regulate engine speed under varying load conditions. The governor spring connects the throttle linkage to the governor arm, maintaining consistent RPM by counteracting the centrifugal force of the flyweight governor. This part is installed by small engine technicians and equipment mechanics performing carburetor, throttle, or governor system service on outdoor power equipment.

This spring and link assembly is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor power equipment powered by Briggs and Stratton small engines. Typical install scenarios include governor system rebuilds, throttle linkage repairs, and tune-ups where the original spring has fatigued, stretched, or broken. The part restores proper governor response and engine speed stability.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a small engine technician or qualified equipment mechanic. Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning any governor linkage service to prevent accidental engine start. Use care when routing and tensioning the spring to avoid overstretching, as incorrect spring installation will cause hunting, surging, or runaway engine speed. Refer to the engine service manual for the correct governor arm and throttle linkage configuration before reassembly.
