Kohler 1708911-s Governor Spring Replacement

Product Description

The KOHLER 1708911-s is a governor spring designed as a direct OEM-style replacement for Kohler small engine applications. The governor spring connects the governor arm to the throttle linkage, maintaining consistent engine speed under varying load conditions. When this spring fatigues, stretches, or breaks, the engine may hunt, surge, or fail to hold a steady RPM. Technicians and equipment service professionals install this part during routine governor system inspections or as part of diagnosing speed regulation issues on Kohler-powered equipment.

This governor spring is used in small engine repair and maintenance across a range of outdoor power equipment including lawn tractors, zero-turn mowers, generators, and other engine-driven tools powered by compatible Kohler engines. It is a common wear item replaced during governor adjustment procedures or after an engine has experienced over-speed or mechanical damage to the governor linkage assembly.

Key Features

• OEM Kohler replacement part ensuring correct tension and fitment for governor linkage systems
• Maintains proper throttle response and steady-state engine speed under load
• Direct replacement for worn, stretched, or broken governor springs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement governor spring for compatible Kohler small engines. Verify fitment against your engine model and spec number before ordering.

Installation Notes

Governor spring replacement is typically performed by small engine mechanics or equipment service technicians. Shut down the engine completely and allow it to cool before accessing the governor linkage. Proper governor arm positioning and spring hook placement are critical to correct speed regulation — consult the engine service manual for linkage diagrams specific to your engine spec. After installation, governor adjustment may be required to restore proper no-load and full-load RPM settings.
