Product Description

The HONDA 16555-ZM0-000 is a governor rod used in small engine applications to regulate engine speed by linking the governor arm to the carburetor throttle mechanism. This component is part of the mechanical governor system, which responds to load changes and maintains consistent RPM under varying operating conditions. Constructed from plastic, it is a lightweight, OEM-style replacement part.
