- 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!!!

Dude. 9 years later and this video is still the reigning best tutorial on this on the whole Internet. Superb.
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!!
Thanks for the video, you've explained it better than my small engine instructor. Now I understand the function of the governor more clearly.
+Cj capp Your welcome, glad to help out! I hear ya haha I guess some people explain things differently. Thanks for Watching!!!
Just like what most of the folks have stated already, this is one of the clearest explanation I have seen on RUclips, thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video!
Great explanation/demonstration. This saved me a lot of guesswork about the workings of an internal governor setup. Thank you for taking the time to make the video.
Appreciate that, your welcome, Thanks for Watching!!!
@@fnaguitarplayer9 dude you think you can help me out with my governor cable problem ?
Thank you so much, I am fixing my tecumseh HH60 engine off of my dad's tiller, and before I go taking the entire engine apart, I am taking it upon myself to understand how each part works before I remove it/disassemble it so that I know what I am looking for in it. Thank you!

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.!!!
It IS the best explanation I have seen so far! Thanks a lot for your informative videos. This kind of information is what keeps my 50+ year old snapper with a B&S engine running!
Koffi Banan Appreciate that! Your welcome! I hear ya! I much prefer older equipment, built to last. Thanks for Watching!!!
Excellent tutorial. A+. I've done a lot of small engine repair and know basically how governors work but this video ties it altogether. Thanks.
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!!
Your welcome, glad you were able to find it! Thanks for Watching!!!
Wow, Finally I know how all this governor works, you have made our life easy and safe. I positioned them wrong, without this governor arm pushing back I did not know how my engine would have behaved. Thank you so much for doing this video for us.
Great coverage of the governor operations. Thanks.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You are an excellent teacher. The visual really helps explain how it works.
Good video. Very clear demonstration!
JOE Z Thanks for Watching!!!
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
Appreciate folks like you taking the time to make a thorough an detailed video like this. Very helpful my friend.
Your welcome, glad to help out! Thanks for Watching!!!
Dude, amazing demonstration.
I just became interested in engines and I’ve started goofing off with an old snowblower.
This video is pure gold in terms of knowledge gained.
Thanks man!
Thanks! Glad to help out! Thanks for Watching!!!
One of the most important things in your engine. Responsible for oiling the innards, and it is made of plastic. Great video.
Very true. I have seem break before too. Thanks for Watching!!!
I'm a late-comer to small engine mechanics and was looking for some inspiration on mechanical governors. This is just what I was looking for..Super video, very well explained in layman's language..thanks a million.
Thanks for the very helpful video! I had no idea how governors work and now I understand completely!
Thank you, sir. I took apart a Briggs 128M02 two years ago and made no notes, took no pictures, threw all my parts in a drawer and left them there. 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...
Your welcome! I've been there before! Thanks for Watching!!!
Thanks very much. This video, along with the three part Briggs 10hp rebuild videos, saved me from learning things the hard way. All of your videos are clear and informative. Cheers!
Your welcome, glad to help out! Thanks for Watching!!!
7 years after posting this vid its still helping! Thanx bro clear as day!
Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to explain this so clearly. I found it very helpful.
This is one of the most clear and concise videos I've ever seen on RUclips and I watch quite a bit of educational stuff.
All the very best to you 👍. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! I'm pretty new to engines and I'm writing a paper for school on mechanical governors, and this has cleared up a lot of things.
Your welcome, glad to help out! Thanks for Watching!!!
Great video, it explained a lot! I have a similar engine I'm trying to fix up. This helped me understand what's going on the that governor
Appreciate that! Glad to help out! Thanks for Watching!!!
I'm trying to replace the governor on a honda pressure washer motor. This is easily the best explanation I've been able to find about how it should work. Many thanks.
Your welcome, Thanks for Watching!!!
Thank you for the excellent visual explanation! It helps A LOT to be able to see it and you did an excellent job!

Thank you for a great video. This was very helpful in understanding how the governor works.
kb4fzk your welcome, thanks for watching!!!
thanks for the lesson! truly a clever design. stuff like this is what made me a mechanical engineer
Your welcome! I hear ya! thanks for watching!!!
Thanks for explaining the how. Great video! Made perfect sense. I have a Honda GCV160 that's running away and nothing so far has really explained how each of the components interacts with the other. This was particuylarly useful. Great job!!
This is another great video. I really appreciate you doing these and I really appreciate the lack of background music.
I think of guys like you as low profile geniuses, super smart but without a single speck of arrogance.
This world needs more people like you.
THANKS
Appreciate that, glad to help out! I try to keep my videos to the point! Thanks for Watching!!!
That was a really informative video. I'm working on a mower engine for the first time (as opposed to motorbike engines with conventional carbs etc) and didn't know about the governor. I'll be spending some time watching your other videos. Thank you for taking the time to do this and helping a lot of people out.

How to look up small engine parts
Fantastic videos bud!
Thanks very much for sharing your in depth knowledge
Appreciate that! Your welcome, Thanks for Watching!!!
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. .
Your welcome! Thanks for Watching!!!
Me being a small engine rebuilder of all makes n models , That was exactly how I would explained how it works ! Well done mate !
Outstanding video mr.everyman. give it to me straight. Best explanation of a governor yet. Good job dude
Appreciate that, Thanks for Watching!!!
A 1000 words in one picture that was very informative thank you much
That was a brilliant tutorial. Thank-you so

Thank You Very Much!! Very easy to understand instructions I love it!
Your welcome, glad to help out! Thanks for Watching!!!
That is a pretty good description! I felt my time here was well spent. I need to design a governored system for something and this gives me ideas. There are probably commercially available governers for all kinds of applications, or companies that design them already made right out of the box. I need to govern something to 400 rpm ….
Thanks, glad to help out! Thanks for Watching!!!
