Important Notes

• Verify compatibility with your specific generator model, manufacturing number, engine configuration, and production revision before ordering.
• Homelite OEM suppliers identify DP264201 specifically as “Throttle Return Spring.”
• On the Black Max BM905500, DP264201 is listed as key number 72, with one spring required per applicable assembly.
• The BM905511 also uses DP264201 as key number 72 in its engine assembly.
• The later BM905530 (099930634) continues to use DP264201 as its Throttle Return Spring.
• Factory diagrams position DP264201 immediately alongside the DP262701 Governor Rod, confirming its relationship to the engine's throttle/governor linkage system.
• Do not confuse DP264201 Throttle Return Spring with DP264101 Governor Spring. Both are used in the applicable engine assembly but are separate components with different functions and OEM part numbers.
• Availability varies by supplier. Some current catalogs list DP264201 as discontinued or no longer available, while another OEM parts supplier currently shows remaining inventory.
• This listing is for one DP264201 Throttle Return Spring only unless otherwise specified. Governor rods, governor springs, carburetors, linkages, brackets, clips, and other engine components are sold separately.
• Inspect the governor rod, throttle linkage, carburetor lever, governor spring, and attachment points when replacing the return spring.
• Match part number DP264201 with your equipment's illustrated parts diagram before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
