Abstract
An engine control system wherein the engine throttle valve is maintained in a substantial partially opened position at idle and the desired idle speed is maintained by controlling the spark advance. A lost motion connection connects the operator engine speed control with the throttle control so that when the operator speed control reaches a pick up position, the lost motion will be taken up and normal throttle opening will occur. This improves transient running. The system includes arrangements for detecting wear or other changes in the operative condition and compensating for it.
