Tempest AGB-20888-PMA
The Tempest AGB-20888 (McCauley OEM B-20846 / B-20888) is an FAA-PMA replacement flyweight pin for McCauley applications.
- Supports accurate RPM sensing by maintaining proper flyweight articulation and alignment in the governor flyweight mechanism.
- Helps reduce hunting or sluggish response that can occur when worn pins create looseness, uneven motion, or abnormal friction.
- Common overhaul replacement when inspection finds wear steps, scoring, corrosion, or poor fit at the flyweight pin interfaces.
This flyweight pin is intended for aviation use in McCauley governor maintenance, overhaul, and line replacement where OEM part numbers drive accurate cross-referencing.
