Do you have a question about the Spirit 41 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Hi , Can you tell me what the part is that is just above the Briggs and Stratton label? I think it's some sort of choke, perhaps automatic? And should it move as the revs change? I think the actual guvnor is the bit with the spring on it?
The part above the Briggs and Stratton label on a Hayter Spirit 41 is likely the air vane or governor air vane. This part does move as the engine revs change. It is connected to the governor system and adjusts the throttle based on engine speed to maintain consistent operation.

My spirit 41 sounds ver rough when mower is idling?
A rough idling sound in your Hayter Spirit 41 mower could be caused by several factors, including:
1. Dirty or Clogged Carburetor – A buildup of dirt or old fuel can restrict fuel flow, causing uneven engine operation.
2. Old or Contaminated Fuel – Stale fuel can lead to poor combustion and rough idling.
3. Air Filter Blockage – A clogged air filter can reduce airflow, affecting engine performance.
4. Spark Plug Issues – A worn or fouled spark plug can cause misfiring and rough idling.
5. Governor Settings – If the governor is incorrectly adjusted, the engine may run unevenly.
6. Loose or Damaged Components – Loose bolts, worn belts, or damaged engine parts can create vibrations and rough running.
Check and clean the air filter, carburetor, and spark plug, and ensure fresh fuel is used. If the problem continues, inspect the governor and engine components.
