    [QUOTE="tscottme, post:

    Think of how a camshaft on an engine works. A lobe on a shaft as it rotates gets closer and then farther from a pushrod or lifter causing the rod or lifter to move. You can use a lobe made of wood disc and spun by an electric drill running at slow speed to press and release the "gas" pedal which varies the RPMs. That will overcome the 3 minute timer and allow idling.[/QUOTE]

    Not if it's set for movement too.
    You can set that blipping the throttle X times then shut down.
