Abstract:
1. An apparatus for adjusting the speed of an engine, said apparatus comprising: an actuator operably connected to a shaft having an axis and a distal end, said actuator being adapted to displace said shaft along said axis; a bracket comprising a first bracket end adapted to operably connect to a throttle cable and an opposing second bracket end attached to said actuator such that said shaft extends generally toward said first bracket end; said shaft further comprising a coupling operably connected to said shaft and adapted to connect to a throttle plate such that said displacement of said shaft moves said coupling, thereby moving said throttle plate without substantially moving said bracket; whereby adjustment of said throttle cable moves said bracket, thereby causing said coupling to move said throttle plate, and actuation of said actuator causes said shaft to move said coupling thereby moving said throttle plate without substantially moving said bracket.
