So I asked this once in the past but I lossed the link.
If you took a gas motor with a manual throttle, how could you control it?
I know I thought of a servo controlling it but I think there might be some latency.
Any ideas, no matter how weird or wacky, are welcome.

I wouldn't think there would be latency if the servo was connected via a push-rod to carburator throttle and not the spring loaded foot pedal.
plus you could setup a valve in between the fuel tank and the engine and have that as a safety connected to a servo.
I didn't think a servo would be a good solution but apparently so.
Thanks for the ideas!
I also had a fail safe on this in case it ever lost signal. Also the servo arm against the brake lever is a little low tech, some kind of linkage would be better, this is just how this unit was set up when I bought it.
If I took my military jeep project(restoring to running condition to do off-roading), and set up ez-control on it.
Just me being creative!
