I wasn't challenging what you said... Was just asking if this particular style was specific to this motor. I know that most small engines use the flywheel to create air pressure because it's a simple model. And, I was curious as to what made this "different".
Yep, but once you get to the larger engines the governor is actually mechanical. On their website, Briggs has descriptions of the pneumatic governors driven by the flywheel vane and the mechanical governors driven by a gear on the flywheel with flyweights. The flyweights will work under all conditions, but having the proper oil level ensures free operation and the proper response to engine rpm.
