[Roadsters] Hand Throttle Cable Connection

[E Scanlon]

If you think it is a "cruise control" then avoid all the cable nonsense and 
just put a BRICK on your accelerator pedal.
It will be just as dangerous and, excuse my bluntness, ... stupid.

The Hand Throttle is used to keep the RPM up and the engine going once the 
Choke is no longer required.... and once the engine has started, there is 
little need for the Choke.

Sorry Loren, while you may have had the presence of mind to disengage it 
during NORMAL driving, I wouldn't want to be by you if you had to remove it 
in an emergency.

FWIW
