Hey, was just watching this bloke really simply adjust the throttle cable to open fully as it had stretched on this ferrari after a few years. Anyone tried this? Imagine it would be simple enough

Don't really think you will "recover" a lot of " lost power"on our Honda engines. But let us know if you find an extra 20 horses hidden in there [emoji854].

This is common practice for an old car, but usually it doesn't stop you from opening it to wot, the best you get out of it is throttle response, so set it to whatever your foot likes. I like to set mine tight as a fiddle string... well I would, but the idle would walk, so not too tight

best thing to do is occasionally just adjust it so there is just a tiny bit of slack at the throttle end
