A/C-Wot Microswitch

Switch is mounted on carburetor to sense Wide Open Throttle (WOT) position. On some applications, an adjusting screw is mounted on a lever that rotates with the throttle lever. As lever is rotated to WOT position, it contacts arm of microswitch that opens or closes an electrical circuit. On other applications, the adjusting screw can be set to any predetermined throttle angle before the WOT position. The switch is used on most carbureted models and cuts out the A/C compressor during WOT acceleration.
