Abstract
A compact, short stroke breakover throttle lever assembly which prevents damage to high pressure internal combustion engine fuel pumps is provided. The compact, short stroke breakover throttle lever of the present invention includes a throttle lever element and a throttle control link element which are coaxial and move synchronously with a fuel pump throttle shaft that are pivotally connected at an end of the throttle lever element a maximum distance from the fuel pump throttle shaft. A central throttle control link connection and return spring connection are provided on the throttle control link element. The pivotal movement of the throttle control link element relative to the throttle lever element is limited by the travel limits of a spring engaging element which cooperates with a spring to hold the throttle lever element and throttle control link element in alignment.
