Caterpillar 247-5212 is the governor (throttle) motor with two control cables and a 7 pin connector. It is used on Caterpillar 320C and 320D excavators. This aftermarket version has the same mounting and electrical connector as the original, so it plugs in and bolts on where the old one came off.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Engine speed will not change
If the engine stays at idle or will not respond to the throttle dial, the throttle motor or its cables are a common cause. Check the controller fault codes first.
Hunting or uneven engine speed
A worn motor or stretched cables make the engine speed surge. A new motor with new cables restores steady speed.
Throttle motor fault code
A motor fault on the monitor points at the motor or its 7 pin connector. Check the plug and harness before replacing it.
Fitting tips
Set the cable ends to the same length as the old unit, then run the engine speed calibration in the machine's service mode.
