Idle Speed Control/Nose Switch

IDLE SPEED CONTROL/NOSE SWITCH
The idle speed control maintains steady idle engine speed and prevents stalling, due to changes in engine load, through a servo motor linked with the throttle actuator. A switch mounted on the idle speed motor housing, is closed (ON), when the control plunger is in contact with the throttle lever.
