Clean the crud off the box and you'll find two little allen screws. The left one is metal and is a clamp. The right one is plastic and is a gear that moves a rack with the switch. *Plastic, remember.* Loosen the left one, then adjust the right one until the switch does not click with a .004 feeler in the throttle stop, but does click with a .002 feeler. If that is impossible, you'll have to take it apart and fiddle, but that's not too difficult. It's a lot harder than adjusting it the right way, though, if it works. david
