The throttle shaft should just start opening when that roller touches that hash line. Watch the linkage on the carb attached to the roller. It should start moving when the roller hits the line.
If not, looking at the motor, that brass cam has 2 bolts holding it on. The one on your right, will have an oblong hole, so if you loosen it, it will pivot in and out to make the adjustment.
Don’t worry so much about where the arrow on the tiller grips lines up with. That is a guide at best, and not gospel. They are never lined up perfect.
After running them for a while, you don’t even pay attention to that anymore.
