The MD-Lambda-View cable pull sensor
The most elegant solution for determining the throttle valve or carburetor slide position.
How does the MD-Lambda-View cable pull sensor work?
The biggest problem in determining the throttle valve or carburetor slide position is attaching a suitable sensor to the throttle body or carburetor. With a throttle body, a sensor can be attached to the throttle shaft, but this requires some tinkering. With a conventional carburetor, the whole thing seems more complicated, if not completely impossible.
This is where the MD-Lambda-View cable sensor comes into play. It replaces the standard throttle cable. The entire assembly behaves like a conventional throttle cable, but activates a magnetic position sensor driven by a cable guide. This simultaneously transmits all actions on the throttle to the carburetor slide or throttle valve, as well as to the integrated position sensor.
