Abstract
A switch assembly adapted for actuation by connection to an engine throttle shaft. The switch housing is adapted for mounting on an engine and has a rotary cam received therein having a socket for connection to the engine throttle shaft. Rotation of the cam sequentially actuates a plurality of electrical switches. The housing has a stationary and movable member with some of the switches mounted on each. A helical screw engages teeth on the movable member and for adjusting the relative position between the housing members. The screw is readily accessible from the exterior of the housing and rotation of the screw adjusts the at-rest position of the cam with respect to the switches for enabling easy calibration after installation on the engine.
