Abstract
A governor system for an engine motive fluid induction system is shown as having a solenoid operated valve assembly communicating with a source of vacuum and with a vacuum motor assembly operatively connected to a variably positionable throttle valve of the induction system; an electronic control sensitive to the speed of a monitored parameter is effective to controllably energize the solenoid valve assembly to in turn regulate the magnitude of vacuum directed thereby to the vacuum motor assembly and consequently govern the then permissible amount of opening of the throttle valve.
