[s-cars] RE: throttle link adjustment

[motogo1]

And, I've heard  from the 200 list, if you break that black plastic linkage
thingy, they don't sell that seperate. You have to buy the whole throttle
body for big $$$$'s.  I've read about more than one 200 running around with
wire fixit jobs on their  linkages (throttle linkage, that is..)  But,
obviously there was slack in yours, or else you would not have noticed a
difference.
