Kim, I'm not a mechanic, but I have quite a bit of Ercoupe experience.
If you have a throttle knob with a button it is not an original Ercoupe
part. You have a vernier throttle knob. The original knobs were just
that, knobs. Push to increase RPM, pull to decrease RPM. As Ed said,
you can easily replace the throttle cable and attach your new knob to it.

I was hoping to ask for the lists experiance once again. I had a very
experienced engineer/technician design and machine a device that lets
me operate the throttle, as my fingers have no grip. I cannot push
the button and pull the throttle back with one hand, so we copied a
device used by a great many disabled pilots. In fact, the design came
right out of a C-177.
To install it, we need to remove the black bakelite knob from cable
and attach our device. We have been unable to easily remove the knob
(and I do not want to force or break anything). The phillips screw
just spins. And the threads on side of outer knob appear to be
stripped. Is there a trick I'm missing? This should be a simple
bolt on process, or we would not have messed with it.
The parts manual only shows an "assembly" and service manuals are
silent on anything to do with this assembly.
