Ha!  On the off chance, I looked in the manual.  Nothing.  On the off off chance I looked in the parts book.  Clear as day picture, there they are, the one with the air line connected to the top is the Fast Idle, the one with the air line connected to the side is the Engine Stop.  Now I definitely have a place to start!

Edit:  In fact, confusing the heck out of me (why are there so many diagrams of the same thing, I don't understand...) I have page 8.2205 in there twice!  An extra page in my parts book!  I am so easily confused these days....

the reason for so many diagrams of the same thing are usuallyunit number related. Look at the drawings and there should be a unit number reference for each drawing of same systems. Make sure you refer to the correct diasgram as there are usually changes at certain unit numbers of production.
Some are called, some are sent, some just got up and went.
