That switch can be a fussy pain to adjust. i.e. the hex head screw is
made of soft metal and gets buggered easily when the parts are seized
up.

Some images of one I "saved" but opted to R&R for a lower mile
throttle switch assembly:

Wear at the throttle shaft can adversely affect switch adjustment.
Setting the lock screw can do same. Gowesty has good articles on this.
Van-cafe may have some too.
