Should I take the lever on the trans and pull it forward and then wide open the throttle lever and tighten cable there? This would make the throttle pressure on the trans be relative to accelerator opening. Any help would be appreciated. Tod

The transmission lever is usually too long to work properly with this setup. You need to measure the total travel of the carb lever from idle to WOT and then find a point on the trans lever that has the same travel from full forward to full back and attach the cable there. There should be a spring to pull the trans lever full forward. Adjusting the cable so that the trans lever is full back at WOT usually results in late light throttle upshifts.
