Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing throttle control linkage for an internal combustion engine having a pivotally-mounted injector lever for movement between a first predetermined position and a second predetermined position to control a fuel injector pump is disclosed and comprises a throttle control lever mounted for movement between a first predetermined position and a second predetermined position, a pivotally-mounted bellcrank having an arcuate slot formed therein, first linkage structure operatively connected between the throttle control lever and the pivotally-mounted bellcrank and second linkage structure operatively connected between the arcuate slot and the pivotally-mounted injector lever. The arcuate slot is formed along a predetermined radius from the connection of the second linkage means on the pivotally-mounted injector lever when the throttle control lever and the pivotally-mounted injector lever are positioned in the first predetermined position. The method of setting up the throttle control linkage includes the steps of placing the throttle control lever in a first predetermined position, placing the injector lever in a first predetermined position, adjusting th…
