My 2024 Hawk X has only one adjustment option - the adjusting "nut" at the end of the throttle. And the threads won't let me unscrew it far enough (like an inch) to tighten up the free play. There is no adjustment at the carburetor end. I'm hoping my local True Value Hardware might have a matching adjusting nut that would let me extend it out. Only other option would be to pull the throttle cable out, measure it, and order one an inch shorter to eliminate the free play.
