Abstract

A servocylinder unit for adjusting an amount of fuel fed to a vehicle drive engine and comprising a piston displaceable in a cylinder, a first pre-stressed spring for biasing the piston to its initial position, a first stop for supporting the first spring and displaceable along the longitudinal axis of the cylinder, a second pre-stressed spring extending between the first stop and a base of the cylinder, and a second stop fixed to the cylinder and engageable by the first stop under bias of the second spring. The first spring enables regulation of a number of revolutions of the vehicle engine, and the second spring, which has a larger pre-stress than the first spring and is less rigid than the first spring, is compressible to enable switching off of fuel feeding.
