Abstract
A power tool having an engine, a throttle control cable, and an electric starter assembly with a user actuated start switch. The start switch has an over-travel actuator section for moving the throttle control cable an over-travel distance. The throttle control cable is connected to the throttle of the engine by an over-travel actuation member. The over-travel actuation member is adapted to move the throttle and, when the control cable is moved the over-travel distance, actuate a compression release system of the engine.
