    Patent number: 9897014
    Abstract: A variable rate throttle for controlling a vehicle carburetor having control cables. The variable rate throttle includes a housing surrounding a cavity, a plurality of interchangeable throttle reels, each throttle reel having a different track radius, where a particular one of the throttle reels is positioned at a time in the cavity of the housing and which engages the control cables. A throttle handle engages the interchangeable throttle reel so that rotation of the handle causes rotation of the throttle reel and thus moves the control cables of the vehicle carburetor.
