  • In depth video on how governors work on small engines, a 12 horsepower Briggs and Stratton is shown as a example, but the principal is the same on any engine with a governor, even the old steam engines, they all work basically the same. Thanks for Watching!!!

    Thank you for this explanation. I know nothing about engines, but heard of the governor in an engine and was interested in its purpose and how it works. I now have gained understanding. Thank you!

    Finally; a laymans explanation and video depicting the operation of what seems a complex system. So much so, I took a small motorbike engine apart and reasembled it completely and for the first time, KNEW what every little piece did, as this was the last piece of the puzzle.. Well done for a brilliant and simple explanation.

    Thank you so much for the time you took to make this visual representation of how a governor works. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this concept for awhile now and just could completely grasp exactly what was happening within all the components to make it function. Thanks to your breakdown of the system and it’s components. I can now visualize how each one connects to the next, I finally feel confident in my understanding of this system. Thank you again for taking the time and effort to make this video, and for sharing your knowledge!!

    I am 65 years old and when I was a young man I use to race go carts with 5hp Briggs and Stratton engines and nobody could explain how all this works together ( until now ), so never let anyone tell you that you're to old to learn anything, thank you for taking the time to explain this so I could understand it, now when I'm mowing my grass and the governor opens the throttle a little now I know why.
    THANK YOU , THANK YOU , THANK YOU.!!!

    Perfect example. Im so glad I found your video. I looked for a few days with no luck and then utube put this one in my feed. I had backwards on my motor. I cranked it up and I've NEVER heard a little motor rev that high!! I killed it fast and back to the drwwing board. Origanly all was wrong was the head gasket letting pressure past my push rods and into the crank case pushing oil up over my rings. So thanks again for your time making this video!!

      Thank you for the video and the explanation.I had a problem with my craftsman model 917.388831 with a briggs and straton engine, engine model 10L902-0469-E1 and the problem was that the lawnmower slowed down when I started to mow the grass up until the point that it would not run so I removed the top cover and removed the air filter (filter was dirty) And I found that a spring that was supposed to be connected to the carburetor butterfly valve had broken off. I found a spring that I had laying around and installed it ( it was not the proper spring but is was a small spring ) I started the lawn mower and it went to full throttle and it stayed like that, it would not go to idle.Is the reason that it went to full throttle because it has the wrong spring? I am going to buy the correct spring for the carburetor and hope that it cures the problem. And if it does not then I am thinking that it might be missing another spring or springs.Any advice will be greatly appreciated.Cheers

I remember looking at that governor when I first took that thing apart and thinking "this thing is gonna come back to bite me in the ass when I rebuild," and here we are...

    A big 'Thanks" It is a great hobby to work on these engines, and to know how all the parts work
    together. I did not get it as first but knowing how a centrifugal clutch works, except there the
    weights are held in due to the spring on the governor outside the engine. engine not running,
    throttle is wide open. engine starts weights spread out, but spring tension regulates how much
    balance. If spring tension is very tight, engine will run very fast, with a looser spring and gov arm
    able to move, better control of the throttle My model 23 has the updraft carb and mechanical
    governor with a threaded rod. .
