Abstract

An exhaust gas return valve actuating rod has first and second rod portions adapted for connection between an exhaust gas control valve and throttle linkage. The rods are interconnected by an eccentric connecting element which is spring connected to one of the rods and connected by a thread connection to the other rod. The eccentric connecting element enables convenient length adjustment of the connecting rod, even when it cannot be seen by the mechanic.
