Default Slack in the throttle cable?

There is slack in my throttle cable so when I floor it I'm only going about half throttle. Does anyone know how to adjust it to make it smaller or know how to shorten it? I didn't see an adjuster on the actual pedal where I thought it might be but am I mistaken?
Thanks for any help...

You should be able to do it on the throttle body side of the cable. If you can't adjust it you may need a new one, it may have gotten stretched out.

I don't see how to then, its just the cable soldered into a bolt that you slip onto the throttle. Maybe it didn get stretched I dunno... anyone else have any idea?
