The Honda 16512-ZE6-000 Governor Weight Holder is a genuine OEM component designed for GXV120, GXV140, and GXV160 vertical shaft engines, as well as the HP400 power carrier and Honda HR, HRA, HRB, HRC, and HRM series lawn mowers. As a direct Honda OEM part, this Governor Weight Holder is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring proper governor assembly function and correct speed regulation. This part fits a wide range of Honda equipment — confirm your machine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes components at specific serial breaks.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Governor Fit — sourced directly from Honda, this holder maintains the precise geometry the governor weight assembly depends on for accurate flyweight retention and speed control response
- Broad Fitment — compatible with GXV120, GXV140, and GXV160 vertical shaft engines, the HP400 power carrier, and Honda HR194, HR214, HR216, HRA214, HRA216, HRB215, HRC216, HRM195, and HRM215 lawn mowers, including several long-running production series
- Check Your Serial Number — Honda updates OEM part numbers at serial production breaks; always verify your machine's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct holder for your unit
- Engine Speed Stability — a worn or damaged governor weight holder allows the flyweights to seat incorrectly, causing erratic engine speed, hunting, or an inability to hold a steady load under varying conditions
The governor weight holder is a structural component within the mechanical governor assembly. It retains the flyweights that pivot outward under centrifugal force as engine speed rises, translating that movement into throttle adjustment to maintain a steady governed speed. When the holder is cracked, worn, or damaged, the flyweights cannot seat or pivot correctly, which causes the engine to hunt for its governed speed, surge under load, or fail to regulate RPM altogether — reducing the engine's ability to deliver consistent power to the equipment it drives.
