Tecumseh 490308 Governor Spring

The Tecumseh 490308 Governor Spring is a genuine OEM extension spring that regulates engine speed by maintaining proper tension between the governor linkage and the throttle control system. Commonly installed on Tecumseh small gasoline engines powering lawn mowers, snow blowers, generators, tillers, and other outdoor power equipment, it connects the governor lever to the throttle linkage to automatically adjust RPM as operating conditions change. Constructed from heat-treated spring steel, this governor extension spring is designed for installation at the governor lever and throttle linkage assembly on Tecumseh TVS840, TVXL840, HSK840, and other compatible small engines. As an OEM replacement, it serves to replace stretched or worn governor springs to restore proper throttle response; related replacements include Tecumseh 490307 governor spring, 490309 governor link, and 490318 governor spring.
