Engine controls
Throttle and Choke
Engine power is controlled by means of the THROTTLE lever and the CHOKE
lever which are positioned in the middle channel between the seats side by
side. Both levers are mechanically connected
(by cable)
to the flap on the
carburetors. Springs are added to the throttle push rods to ensure that the
engine will go to full power if the linkages fail.
