Description
This governor spring is a Genuine Honda OEM part for the GCV160 series four‐stroke engines, supplied under Honda part number 16561‐ZM0‐000 (also referenced as 16561 ZM0 000). Made from durable metal, it links the governor mechanism to the throttle system to regulate engine speed under changing loads. A sound governor spring helps prevent hunting and surging, supports stable idle, and maintains correct top speed, protecting engine life and drive quality. Designed specifically for Honda GCV160 and GCV160A engines used on many walk‐behind lawnmowers and outdoor power equipment, it is a practical maintenance replacement for worn, stretched, or broken springs. As a genuine Honda component, it matches original specification for fit and tension, helping restore smooth and consistent engine operation.
Key Features:
– Genuine Honda OEM component for assured fit and compatibility (PN 16561‐ZM0‐000)
– Correct spring rate for stable idle and governed top speed on GCV160/GCV160A engines
– Durable metal construction designed for long service life in outdoor conditions
– Helps prevent hunting, surging, and overspeed by maintaining consistent throttle control
– Direct replacement for the original spring to restore factory performance
– Straightforward to fit with standard hand tools, minimising downtime
– Suitable for regular servicing to keep engines within specification
Typical Applications:
Routine maintenance and repairs on Honda GCV160 family engines fitted to pedestrian lawnmowers and light garden machinery. Used to replace a fatigued or broken governor spring when engines fluctuate in revs, surge under load, idle erratically, or fail to hold governed speed. Ideal for professional grounds care, domestic lawn care, and hire fleet upkeep where reliable speed control and clean cut quality are important.
Also known as:
Governor linkage spring, throttle governor spring, speed control spring, engine speed governor spring, Honda lawnmower governor spring, GCV160 governor linkage spring, governing spring for small engines.
