increasing throttle response? flywheel or throttle body?

[JohnL]

this fills a void that was forming in my mind.

I've got thousands of those, and more as I get older...

If the wear was bigger you could glue/weld a bit of metal on there.

If you use shim stock the metal can be very very thin. I really don't know how practical or not such a 'repair' might be without seeing the metal bits.

Maybe you could just give the aluminum part on the TB (that holds the accelerator cable) a little tweak with some pliers.Just 'bend' it ever so slightly?

Risky, you don't know how ductile (or not) the casting is. It may break if you attempt to bend it. I would expect the alloy chosen for the TB is most likely selected for ease of machining (and minimal heat expansion?) more than strength, and such alloys tend to be less ductile, i.e. more brittle...

I'll check my accelerator cable for some adjustment 'tab'

I was meaning a 'tab' of some sort on the cable 'pulley thingy' that the cable wraps around at the TB. If it exists it will be right where the 'pulley thingy' contacts the TB casting, i.e. it will be the bit that contacts the TB casting.

I realise now I need to include adjustment of the accelerator cable in the DIY cause if there's slack there it sucks

Throttle cables should be adjusted to have just a little bit of free play at CT, but at WOT there should be no significant load on the cable nor on the TB WOT stop, i.e. some part of the pedal should hit a stop (under the pedal pad or at the top near where the cable is attached) just as the TB WOT stop is contacted.
