Throttle are forward. The throttle moves very smoothly now. No hang-ups. Very nice.
Unfortunately, I had to remove the cable sheath from the carb to get the wire through. When removing the nut from the end the sheath jumped out and the nut was flung to Neverland or there 'bouts. It being a metric nut, I do not have a ready replacement handy. So I'll have to order a new nut from Lockwood.
