Homelite automatic idle control
Homelite automatic idle control. Automatically idles the pump engine when water drops below the suction line strainer and brings the engine up to full speed when water level rises.
Diaphragm (vacuum-sensing device) is connected through tube to suction elbow. When water drops below suction hose strainer and vacuum in line is lowered, diaphragm relaxes causing spring-loaded throttle to move into idle posit ion. When seepage water covers strainer and vacuum picks up, diaphragm operates, pulls throttle rod and brings engine up to full pumping speed.
Available for Homelite 2 in. (5 cm) and 3 in. (7.62 cm), 2-cycle engine driven centrifugal pumps and 1 ½ in. (3.8 cm) and 2 in. (5 cm), 4-cycle engine-driven centrifugal pumps.
