How to tighten throttle cable?
Noticed the other day that there's a little slack in my throttle cable. When the pedal is mashed to the floor the throttle does not hit the bump stop on the throttle body. Checked it on autotap and sure enough it's only opening 95%.

theres a little black cylinder looking thing on the line. Its kindof hard to explain, but basically, it unsnaps, you move the ends farther apart, and snap it back together. Sorry, but no pictures.
