Abstract
A throttle lever assembly for controlling the air intake of a throttle body of an internal combustion engine includes a return cam secured to an end of a throttle shaft. The return cam, formed of a planar metal plate, has a channel disposed about a portion of its periphery for receiving an accelerator cable. The channel is formed of alternately offset fingers having fluke-shaped end portions to provide substantially continuous walls of the channel and a cable seat formed of alternately offset fingers. In addition, the return cam may include a cruise stud extending axially from the outer surface of the cam return, an idle stop lever and a wide open stop lever.
