Linkage means for the throttle includes a pair of bell cranks mounted fore and aft of the pivot axis of the control pedal whereby one bell crank is engaged by the pedal when rocked in one direction and the other bell crank is engaged by the pedal when rocked in the opposite direction with the bell cranks connected together and to the throttle linkage means so that either direction of rocking of the control pedal imparts a movement in the same direction through one or the other of the bell cranks to the throttle control linkage.
