ABSTRACT:
The throttle breakover apparatus has a cable with one end coupled to an accelerator pedal and a second end terminating in a cable stop. The cable second end is slidably coupled to an engine throttle lever at a position inward from the cable stop. A sleeve surrounds the cable and extends from the cable stop through the throttle lever. A coil spring surrounds the sleeve and is positioned between the throttle lever and the cable stop. A spring guide guides the motion of the coil spring. In response to the depression of the accelerator pedal, the throttle cable first pivots the throttle lever to a full throttle position. Once full throttle is reached, the coil spring is compressed between the cable stop and the throttle lever and absorbs the additional "breakover" movement of the cable.
