This lever design is a vast improvement over the stock component. The X-Celerator lever rides on a CNC-machined, 303 stainless steel polished pivot pin. \u00a0This longer pin allows the twin levers in the action to ride on the same stable axis, <strong>providing\u00a0a smooth, effortless feel to the throttle pedal<\/strong>. \u00a0 The sense of confidence you gain at every acceleration may leave you wondering &#8220;Why did I wait so long?&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3759\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3759\" style=\"width: 265px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Regardless of your bug&#8217;s carburetion system, whether stock or an after-market performance system, please review this short YouTube video showing you how to adjust your new accelerator control arm to achieve full throttle: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/mvEu1TiFlok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/mvEu1TiFlok<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE:\u00a0\u00a0 We suggest you do a pre-install to adjust the accelerator control arm (by trimming the adjustment tab) before completing the install.<\/strong> To do this, mount the cluster to the tunnel leaving the clutch cable off for now and inserting the pivot pin from the opposite side.\u00a0 Then hook up the throttle cable to the accelerator lever.\u00a0 Now you ideally want to have a friend give you a hand for fine tuning.\u00a0 While he pushes the accelerator pedal all the way down, you can be looking at the carburetor to check the travel for full throttle.\u00a0 If you are not achieving full travel, you can easily take the pedal lever out and trim off just a bit of the rear adjustment tab (1\/16&#8243;\u00a0 at a time, preferably with a dremel tool or file), replace the lever, and have your friend push down the pedal all the way again while you recheck the travel on your carb.\u00a0 Repeat this until you get full travel on the carb but not too much (which can break cables).\u00a0 Now is the time to take the cluster out and do a complete installation.<\/p>\n<p><img
