My quick fix would be to rig a pulley off the back of the top engine access
hole and fold down the rear seat.  Then thread some nylon twine from the
front dash to the pulley and back to the throttle arm.  My arm has a ball on
top of it that would cradlllle a nicely tied loop of the twine and then
girth hitch it to the ball and pullll on the string for  throttle
acceleration.
