    OK, this simple linkage confuses me all the time also…
    Did you remove the plastic threaded collar from the throttle cable for any reason? If so, I believe you reinstalled it backwards….The threaded collar is offset, and it looks like you have the offset facing the wrong way. Unthread it off the cable, then flip it over, then the offset will be facing the mag plate linkage and will advance it farther….
    PS: What is all the metal dust showing in one of your pictures from???
