throttle connections to wastegate and carbonator

The Cessna C-182 typically uses a normally aspirated engine without a turbocharger, meaning it does not have a wastegate. Therefore, there are no throttle connections to a wastegate in a standard C-182.
For the carburetor, the throttle control in the cockpit is mechanically linked to the carburetor throttle valve. Moving the throttle lever adjusts the position of this valve, controlling the amount of air-fuel mixture entering the engine. This mechanical linkage allows the pilot to regulate engine power.
In summary: - No throttle connection to a wastegate (on standard C-182). - Throttle connects mechanically to the carburetor throttle valve.
