Reply To: Tiller Handle Adjustments For accurate “shift/stop” positions

There is no way of “reindexing” the throttle handle gears due to the one large lug.  I fear that if you tried to “reindex” the smaller gears by the vertical throttle rod you would run the risk of the gears jamming or perhaps one gear releasing from the other rendering the throttle useless.  Trying to favor the lower throttle setting by reindexing the little gears might prevent the throttle from reaching wide open as well.

I guess I would look for some older throttle indicator rings to see if perhaps they are labeled differently.  But, in the end, we are never looking at the throttle handle indicator while the engine is running anyway.  The only exception might by turning the grip to “start” before starting the engine cold.
