Abstract
A speed regulating device for motor vehicles, wherein a setting element is arranged to affect the fuel/air mixture supplied to the engine of the vehicle in response to a control signal, and including an electrical regulator and a variable resistor associated with the setting element and the electrical regulator for signalling to the electrical regulator the actual position of the setting element, the feedback means including a lost motion connection whereby a predetermined movement of the setting element is required before an indication of change or reversal of movement of the setting element is communicated to the electrical regulator, thereby eliminating hunting of the speed regulating device caused by looseness or play in mechanical linkage between the setting drive and throttle valve.
