The part of the engine that connects the air vane governor to the throttle shaft lever is called the:

  1. Camshaft

  2. Crankshaft

  3. Linkage

  4. Manifold

The correct answer is: Camshaft

The correct answer is A. Camshaft. The camshaft is the part of the engine that connects the air vane governor to the throttle shaft lever. The camshaft is responsible for controlling the timing of the engine's valves, ensuring that they open and close at the correct time for optimal performance. Options B, C, and D are incorrect: B. Crankshaft: The crankshaft is a different component of the engine that converts the linear motion of the pistons into rotational motion. C. Linkage: While linkages are used in engines to connect different components, the specific part that connects the air vane governor to the throttle shaft lever is the camshaft. D. Manifold: The manifold is part of the engine's air intake system and is not directly responsible for connecting the air vane governor to the throttle shaft lever.
