Product Description

The BRIGGS STRATTON 798327 is a crank governor component designed for small engine applications. The crank governor mounts to the crankshaft and regulates engine speed by sensing centrifugal force and translating that mechanical input to the throttle linkage. This keeps the engine operating at a consistent RPM under varying load conditions. It is a direct OEM replacement part intended for installation by small engine technicians and qualified service professionals working on outdoor power equipment.

This crank governor is used in small gasoline engines found in lawn and garden power equipment such as walk-behind mowers, riding mowers, and similar outdoor power equipment platforms. It is suited for residential equipment service and repair scenarios where the original governor component has worn, failed, or been damaged during operation or prior service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified small engine technician. Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning any disassembly to prevent accidental engine start.
