I was letting the excess oil drip out of my crankcase cover and this part fell out and I dont know where it came form. Any help is appreciated.

Not a lifter is it? Hard to tell in that pic.

Hard to tell on my phone, but kinda looks like a lifter.
But how did it fall out???

No its not a lifter. Im pretty sure it came out of the oil pump thing inside the cover in the upper right hand corner of the cover. but I dont see how it goes back in

Go on the website and look at the exploded parts diagrams. Maybe you can figure out where it goes from that?

i tried to pull it up on B&S website but could find it. Do you have a link to it?

Part 750 842537 SCREW | (Oil Pump Cover) ?

looks like the piece that goes in the governor assembly

I do on my computer. I'll post it up later if you ain't got it yet.

I bet it's this

part 221 841026 CUP - GOVERNOR

That goes inbetween the fly weights on the gov. Gear it pushes on the gov shaft. There also should be a small retaining ring that goes under it as you slide it back inbetween the wights

You need to lift up on the gear and let the weights open then put it on the shaft an slide everything down together

If you are taking the gov shaft out. Make sure you remove the whole gov gear assembly

Yes it pull up and will come off
