Abstract: Disclosed is an Engine Component Position Indicating System (60) operated by hand or foot pedal (26) that is able to provide a signal from a signal generating means (52) to a visual indicating means (58) in response to rotation of a shaft (2) in either direction that is operatively coupled at one to the signal generating means (52). Shaft (2) is connected to pedal (26) by connecting means preferably in the form of rod (16) which has one end connected to input member (8) secured to shaft (2) and which causes shaft (2) to rotate in opposite directions according to whether pedal (26) is pressed or released by the operator's foot.
