2. Veiligheidsinformatie
Veiligheid staat bij het werken met motoronderdelen altijd voorop. Het niet naleven van veiligheidsvoorschriften kan leiden tot ernstig letsel of schade aan de apparatuur.
- Ontkoppel de bougie: Voordat u onderhoudswerkzaamheden uitvoert, dient u altijd de bougiekabel los te koppelen om te voorkomen dat de motor per ongeluk start.
- Draag beschermende kleding: Gebruik geschikte persoonlijke beschermingsmiddelen, zoals een veiligheidsbril en handschoenen.
- Raadpleeg de servicehandleiding: Refer to your specific engine's service manual for detailed, model-specific instructions and torque specifications.
- Motorkoeling: Allow the engine to cool completely before handling any components to avoid burns.
- Geschikte gereedschappen: Use the correct tools for the job to prevent damage to parts and ensure secure connections.
3. Installatie (Setup)
The Briggs & Stratton 845863 Governor Spring is a precision component. Incorrect installation can lead to erratic engine speed, poor performance, or engine damage. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician or by carefully following the detailed instructions in your engine's official service manual.
General Installation Steps (Consult your engine's service manual for specifics):
- Ensure the engine is cool and the spark plug wire is disconnected.
- Locate the existing governor spring on the engine's carburetor linkage.
- Carefully remove the old spring, noting its exact attachment points and orientation.
- Attach the new Briggs & Stratton 845863 Governor Spring to the identical attachment points. Ensure it is securely fastened and not kinked or stretched improperly.
- Verify that all linkages move freely without binding.
- Sluit de bougiekabel weer aan.
- Start the engine and check for proper speed regulation. Adjust as per your engine's service manual if necessary.

4. Bediening
Once correctly installed, the 845863 Governor Spring plays a vital role in the engine's governor system. As the engine's load changes, the governor mechanism senses the speed variation. The spring's tension counteracts the centrifugal force of the governor weights, adjusting the throttle plate to maintain a consistent engine RPM. This ensures smooth operation and prevents the engine from stalling under load or over-revving when the load is removed.
5. Onderhoud
The governor spring itself requires minimal maintenance. However, it is recommended to periodically inspect the spring during routine engine service for the following:
- Corrosie: Check for any signs of rust or corrosion that could weaken the spring.
- Stretching or Deformation: Ensure the spring maintains its original shape and tension. A stretched or deformed spring will not regulate engine speed correctly.
- Veilige bevestiging: Verify that the spring is securely attached at both ends and has not come loose.
Replace the spring if any signs of damage or wear are observed to ensure proper engine function.
6. Probleemoplossing
If your engine exhibits erratic speed, surging, or fails to maintain a consistent RPM, a faulty governor spring could be a contributing factor. Consider the following:
- Engine Surging: If the engine speeds up and slows down repeatedly, the governor spring might be weak, stretched, or improperly installed.
- Engine Over-speeding: A broken or disconnected governor spring can cause the engine to run at excessively high RPMs, potentially leading to severe engine damage.
- Tekort aan kracht: While less common for the spring itself, issues with the governor system can impact power delivery.
Always inspect the spring and its linkages thoroughly. If the spring appears damaged or worn, replacement with a genuine OEM part like the 845863 is recommended.
