Abstract
A pair of coupling elements connected between an electric stepper motor and an engine throttle are selectively engaged and disengaged by a lever mechanism which effects a relative movement between the coupling elements in response to a mechanical input from a solenoid actuator. The lever mechanism includes integral elements for calibrating the relative movement between the coupling elements for a given mechanical input from the solenoid actuator so as to compensate for manufacturing and assembly tolerances of the various components.
