...72PanteraSteve IS Correct!
The END of the cable SHEATH, is on the Wrong side of the Bracket. The Sheath Must be 'Stopped' by the Bracket in order for the Cable Itself to TIGHTEN and Function Normally(to Pull The Bellcrank). The Bracket can be swung backwards(towards the firewall) on Its' Mounting Bolt, just a little, to Tighten-Up the Sheath. AFTER You have disconnected the Cable, and ran the Cable and Sheath BACK THROUGH the BACKSIDE of the Bracket. The Correct Direction!
I am Amazed you had ANY Throttle Function AT ALL!
Also!...There is a 'Stop' Bolt Adjustment at the Accelerator Pedal.
Last...For Safety, You should add a SECOND Throttle Return Spring! Most States have made it Mandatory! I Run Dual-Quads, so I have 3.
(and what's with the ugly, rusty, allenhead bolt?? That hole is Blind, so it does Not have to be Plugged)
