Abstract:
A throttle control mechanism, comprising:a throttle body structure; a throttle plate rotatable about a throttle axis relative to said throttle body structure; a rotational position sensor comprising a stationary portion and a movable portion which is rotatable about a sensor axis, said throttle plate and said movable portion of said rotational position sensor being associated in force transmitting association with each other, wherein rotation of said movable portion of said rotational position sensor about said sensor axis causes said throttle plate to rotate about said throttle axis, said sensor axis being displaced from said throttle axis; and a throttle cable connected in force transmitting association with said movable portion of said rotational position sensor to cause rotation of said movable portion of said rotational position sensor about said sensor axis in response to movement of said throttle cable.
