Abstract

A throttle linkage assembly comprising a throttle shaft rotatable about a throttle shaft axis between an idle position and a wide open throttle position, a throttle plate fixed on the throttle shaft, a driven lever pivotable about the throttle shaft axis between various angles relative to the throttle plate, an adjustment lever assembly for fixing the driven lever at a selected angle relative to the throttle plate, and a timing plate operable on the driven lever for rotating the throttle shaft from the idle position to the wide open throttle position.
