ABSTRACT:
A control system for the ignition circuit and carburetor of an internal combustion engine wherein a hand throttle lever is operatively connected to both a spring-urged carburetor lever and to switch means for the ignition circuit to provide normal operation of the engine but principally to provide for the safety of the operator in the operation of such circuit if the throttle lever becomes jammed or frozen or otherwise maintained in a speeding position and the operator loses control of such system. Three switches are mounted in a single housing which in turn is mounted on the handle or guiding bar for the vehicle, with one switch at the top portion of the housing and the other of two interrelated switches at the lower portion and each operatively connected to the throttle lever for operation of the ignition system while the third switch can be independently pushed by the operator to alone open said ignition circuit, with all three operating on a printed circuit panel within the housing which serves both as the electrical circuit for the three switches and the mounting member therefor in the complete control mechanism. The two interrelated switches can be identified as switches I and II and the third switch as a "kill switch". The throttle lever is mounted at its upper end and at the upper rear portion of the housing in a pin and enlarged slot mounting which provides a lost motion pivotal connection at said slot.
