Did mine quite awhile back, JB weld and a washer with felt attached. Wrote up a little explaination thread, got a lot of great responses. My throttle is touchy and quick, breathe on it and jumps 200 RPMS. SO MUCH easier and better then the "disassemble and bend the wires" thing!!

I did the 4-40 adjustment screw mod.
Its fully adjustable and totally reversable
with only a threaded hole remaining.
