THROTTLE CONTROL KIT $26.40

Throttle control mounts above on/off switch and tells motor when to speed up or slow down. Replace if yours is sticking or leaking.

The throttle/idle control assembly is used on gas-powered air compressors, in conjunction with the pilot/unloader valve. This assembly connects to the throttle plate/carburetor of the engine to shift from idle to high speed and vice versa. There are generally two different types of throttle assemblies, those with a cable (“bullwhip”) and those with a hollow, nylon tube (“airline”). The Valve itself can attach to the engine throttle plate or thread into the pilot/unloader valve. The air line or cable connects the two and actuates the throttle/governor on the engine at specific pressures to control the speed of the engine.
