Simple to replace, it restores factory feel, aiding tuners in dialing in perfect idle mixtures for fuel savings and power readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why was this spring superseded by part number 691783?

A: Briggs & Stratton updated the design to improve material durability and tension consistency. Part 691783 is the current factory-recommended replacement for the original 555101 spring to ensure optimal idle performance in Raptor engines.

Q: How do I know if my idle speed adjustment spring needs replacing?

A: If your engine experiences erratic idling, surging at a standstill, or fails to return to a consistent RPM after throttle release, the spring may have lost its tension or become corroded. Replacing it is a quick way to restore factory throttle response.

Q: Is this spring difficult to install?

A: No, it is a straightforward maintenance task. It is designed to integrate directly with your existing governor and carburetor linkage system. Ensure the engine is cool before beginning, and take note of the spring's orientation during removal to ensure the new one is seated correctly.

Q: Will this spring help with fuel efficiency?

A: Yes. By ensuring the carburetor butterfly valve returns to the exact idle position every time, you prevent the engine from "lugging" or running rich at idle, which helps maintain better fuel economy and ensures the engine is ready for immediate power delivery when you hit the gas.
