Stephen -
I had the same problem. Just be sure the pinch bolt doesn't pinch the bottom
of the "U" lever together where it is pinching. I think over time and strong
throttle springs the metal stretches around the shaft, which causes it to
slip around the shaft. If you cut the gap a little wider, you should be
fine. Jerry Christopherson (JCMC2006@suddenlink.net)

Subject: [Tigers] throttle peal lever clamping (or slipping)
I have a chronic case of the throttle pedal "adjustable" lever
slipping. I made the clamping slot ever so slightly bigger (with
dremel) to make sure that the clamping bolt could in fact clamp down on
the throttle shaft before the gap bottomed out, but still, no matter
how much I try to torque the clamping bolt, the pedal simply slips
rather than move the throttle cable. Any ideas? Has anyone engineered a
better clamp-on lever? Seem like a billet piece with a set screw into
the shaft would be a better design???
