Ok, in trying to get a picture for you guys ( because a picture is worth a thousand words) I think I figured out what the problem is/was. First off, I'm taking a Mulligan on this one and blaming it on my "newb" status, second, when I replaced the old throttle cable with a new one, I installed exactly as I saw the old one installed, so in my defense, it was wrong to begin with.
Yellow circle is where it is/was, red circle is where it should be? Am I right or do I need to put my readers on? Motor is still hot from evening commute so I'm take the air cleaner off ( again) later and fix correctly. Thank you everyone who chimed in.
P.S. I see a hand free flashlight in my future.

Thanks for posting up those pics of the bracket, in retrospect it all makes sense. I need to finish up some yard work and then take her out for a spin. As far as admitting my mistake, well, mistakes are just learning/teaching opportunities, at least that is what I tell my kids, nothing to be ashamed of. Hopefully this thread helps someone else in the future.
