Decelerator mechanism
a decelerator mechanism for a vehicle has a speed control with a releasable lock and a complementing pivotal control connected by a control cable. Movement of the cable is controlled by a force biasing device. The force biasing device has first and second rods and associated stop elements co-acting with a spring for initially setting and holding a base engine operating speed, selectively reducing the base speed, in response to moving the pivotal control and automatically returning to the base speed in response to releasing the pivotal control.
