Abstract
A governor control for an internal combustion engine of the type wherein air is blown in the operation of the engine to move an air vane connected with the throttle plate for throttling the engine. An operator-controlled handle is movably mounted and interconnects with the air vane through a spring and a flexible cable, all for placing spring tension on the air vane to resist the blowing by the engine and thus govern the engine's speed. A movable stop member is operative on the handle and is spring urged so that the handle can be set in normal engine speed positions and thus cause the engine to run slow or fast, and the handle can also be set in an overriding and spring-urged position to cause the engine to run faster and the spring will automatically return the handle to the fast engine speed position when the operator releases the handle.
