Abstract
A speed control assembly includes a throttle which controls the rotational speed of a crankshaft of an engine and a hand lever which is operatively coupled to the throttle. The speed control assembly further includes a forward switch operatively coupled to a forward clutch. The forward switch causes the forward clutch to couple the crankshaft to a drive shaft so that the crankshaft rotates the drive shaft in a forward rotational direction when the forward switch is actuated by placing the hand lever in a forward position. The first switch also causes the forward clutch to decouple the crankshaft from the drive shaft so that the crankshaft does not rotate the drive shaft in the forward rotational direction when the forward switch is deactuated. The speed control assembly yet further includes a reverse switch operatively coupled to a reverse clutch. The reverse switch causes the reverse clutch to couple the crankshaft to the drive shaft so that the crankshaft rotates the drive shaft in a reverse rotational direction when the reverse switch is actuated by placing the hand lever in a reverse position. The reverse switch also causes the reverse clutch to decouple the crankshaft from the drive shaft so that the crankshaft does not rotate the drive shaft in the reverse rotational direction when the reverse switch is deactuated.
