Abstract
A choke control assembly for use in connection with dual carburetors or the like has a linearly reciprocal slide member carried by a body adapted to be secured to a mounting panel. A swingable lever is secured at one end of the slide member with a pair of control cables secured at an opposite end thereof. The lever is selectively swingable from a normal, non-choke position to either of two alternate over-center positions to shift the slide member against the bias of a spring which maintains corresponding cam surfaces of the lever in abutment with the body. The slide member includes a crossarm adapted to receive a pair of laterally disposed cables in order that two carburetors may be simultaneously controlled by the action of the single lever.
Claims10
A control assembly including:
- an elongate body having mounting means thereon for attachment to a mounting panel or the like;
- an elongate slide member carried by said body for longitudinal non-rotatable reciprocation relative thereto,
- said slide member having at least one end projecting beyond said body;
- a lever secured to said one end of said slide member;
- at least one control element secured to and extending from an opposite end of said slide member for the reciprocable shifting movement therewith;
- and
- means for biasing said slide member in the direction of said control element and for maintaining said lever in abutment with said body,
- said lever being selectively shiftable relative to said slide member and said body from a normal position to at least one alternate position in which said slide member is shifted against the action of said bias means in the direction of said lever to correspondingly reposition said control element.
