How about a simple cruise control that holds throttle position, not speed. It would be simpler than a regular cruise control. It would be like a throttle lock, but it would disengage if the brake is pressed. Also the manual control, could bump up or down the throttle position. It can be dumb as a stump. It doesn't need to monitor anything like speed or rpms I don't think. I think it can just hold the cable at the set position, period. Then if you want to bump it up, it pulls the cable just a little more. If you want a little more trottle, you bump it a little more.

Someone could probably modify an junked cruise control.

Seem reasonable?
