Abstract
An adjustable speed control system (10) for a motor vehicle (12) comprising a first flexible cable (14) having a first end (16) connected to a throttle lever (18) on a carburetor (20) in an internal combustion engine (22) of the motor vehicle (12). A second flexible cable (24) has a first end connected to a throttle control handle on the motor vehicle (12). A structure (26) mounted within the motor vehicle (12) is for coupling a second end (28) of the first flexible cable (14) to a second end (30) of the second flexible cable (24). A facility (32) mounted within the motor vehicle (12) is for controlling movement of the second ends (28), (30) of the first flexible cable (14) and the second flexible cable (24) within the coupling structure (26), thereby limiting operation of the throttle lever (18) on the carburetor (20).
