Abstract
A remote control assembly for rotating a throttle-valve shaft (18) rotatably mounted in a carburetor (14) including a control housing (22) having threaded fasteners for attaching the control housing (22) to a carburetor (14). A throttle conduit (28) is connected to the control housing (22) and a throttle core element (30) is movably supported in the throttle conduit (28) for movement in response to accelerator pedal inputs. A cruise control conduit (34) is connected to the control housing (22) and a cruise control core element (38) is movably supported in the cruise control conduit (34) for movement in response to cruise control inputs. A throttle pulley (40) is rotatably mounted in the control housing (22) and the throttle core element (30) is connected to the throttle pulley (40) for rotating the throttle pulley (40) in response to the movement of the throttle core element (30). A cruise control pulley (54) is pivotally mounted in the control housing (22) for limiting movement of the throttle pulley (40) and the cruise control core element (38) is connected to the cruise control pulley (54) for pivoting the cruise control pulley (54) in response to the movement of the cruise control core element (38). A drive shaft (42) is rotatably supported by the control housing (22) and coupled (64) to the throttle-valve shaft (18) for transmitting motion of the throttle pulley (40) to the throttle-valve shaft (18).
