The flywheel stores inertia in it's rim and allows the power stroke of the engine to be smoothed out over the entire rotary cycle. This brings the piston back up the cylinder for the next power stroke. The governor is a negative feedback system that controls the speed of the engine to stop it over revving. Watts governor has two spinning pivoted steel balls that fly apart as the speed increases. The faster the engine revs the more the flying balls close the steam pipe from the boiler. This slows the engine until the falling balls reopen the pipe etc.

What is a difference between flywheel and governors?
Flywheel stores or releases excess energy produced by a shaft and keeps it running within the critical speed. Governor is a speed control mechanism which directly controls fuel supply to an engine. Governor controls the speed variation caused by a varying load. while flywheel does not control the speed variation.

What du you understand by the term governing of steam engine?
A governor is a speed control device. It can be mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic or electronic. It maintains a specific speed of rotation of the flywheel of the engine, or the shaft of a turbine, which is set by the operator. Governing an engine is just that, controlling the speed of the engine.
How is connected the flywheel in engine?
In most cases the flywheel is bolted straight on to the end of the crankshaft.
Will a bad flywheel cause a car to not turn over?
A bad flywheel can definitely cause the engine not to turn over. The flywheel has teeth. If the teeth are chipped or broken, then the starter can not engage to spin the engine over.
Is flywheel needed for external combustion engine?
no
How do you change a flywheel on a 79 camaro?

Where is the governor on a 8HP 310 cc brigg's an stratton an how do you remove it?
The governor is driven by the cam gear (in turn driven by the crank gear) and is attached on the engine sump (side of engine opposite the flywheel). There is no need to remove it, you can simply de-activate it by removing the linkage that goes to the carburetor that opens or closes the throttle as dictated by the governing system.
What is the component that connects the engine to the rest of the drive train?
Crankshaft directly connects to the flywheel.
