Bill, it's not that simple. The thing that drags is the plastic piece that protrudes out into the throttle housing from where the cables enter. I cut mine to allow more room, but they also use that piece as the mechanical throttle stop, so modifying that tube required more adjustment, which you don't really have. You end up with a good amount of throttle slop before the throttle starts affecting the revs. I ended up buying a new pull throttle cable to fix the slop problem as that plastic piece is part of that cable assembly.

PS- watch out... the throttle should snap back cleanly and without any hesitation. Any binding might come back as a stuck throttle at the most inopportune time.
