Abstract

A throttle controlled induction passage assembly is shown as having a body with an induction passage formed through the body and a throttle shaft extending transversely of the induction passage and carried by the body, the throttle shaft having an axis of rotation about which the throttle shaft is rotatable, a throttle valve is carried by the throttle shaft for rotation therewith, and an abutment arrangement for preventing the throttle shaft and throttle valve from experiencing undue movement relative to the induction passage in both directions along the axis of rotation; a suitable thrust bearing is provided to permit application of the body and shaft in any position.
