It should be a new replacement. Most are plastic and can lead to failure. It's the first thing in the motor and the last thing out of the motor. When I had my K301AQS motor rebuild a couple of weeks ago I paid the machine shop $30 to install the new governor, piston and rings, and set the valves for me. They also set the bearing end play. For $30 it was worth it to me. All I had to to do is button it up and install it back into the engine.
A good machine shop will be able to order all the parts for you and do all the machining plus give you some good tips. I would talk to the shop before they started work to make sure they know what they are talking about.
