First remove the throttle lever by loosening the allen set screws. Separate the front console covers by removing 8 or more screws holding it together. Locate the throttle pot, unplug it and install a new one. Be careful not to over-tighten or strip the screws holding the potentiometer housing tabs to the plastic. Check the alignment visually before reassembling it. Don't pinch any wiring when you put the console back together. When you reinstall the throttle lever make sure it is even left to right and does not bind on the plastic console housing. Tighten the lever set screws firmly but do not strip them, this repair will need to be done again and you want to be able to remove these set screws. Hope this helps.
