There was no throttle control on the carburetor. All you could do was vary the needle valve setting.
Speed control accomplished through advance/retard of spark only.
The electric-start model had a tiller handle control that slid back and forth to change timing settings.
Best,

Some of the Speedsters on YouTube looked like they clipped right along.
I presumed "poppet valve" carbs with no throttle were only on little
outboards like my Thor. Interesting!
Prepare to be boarded!
