I've found a few really old threads here about morse throttle control removal... Most pics are now dead.

Anyway, 3 screws removed, tried finessing the throttle lever and pulling out and up or down from the end toward the rear. I have managed to get that end away from the wall about a half inch, but that's all.

I don't want to break anything... If I find the "sweet spot", is it an easy slide out? Or do you really have to give it hell and yank it out of there?
