ABSTRACT:
A treadle assembly supplies an electrical signal to an electronic controlled engine. The assembly includes a treadle suspended from a vertical wall of the operator compartment so that the components are disposed away from dirt and debris associated with the vehicle compartment. A treadle lever is pivotally mounted and engages a drive gear associated with the potentiometer. Depression of the treadle provides for increased rotation of the drive gear, preferably on the order of a 3:1 output to input ratio. A slot is formed in the actuator base to facilitate assembly of the structure before the springs are brought to a tensioned state.
