If you want to moderate the throttle you can put a capacitor in parallel with the throttle pot. This was done a few times to tame the older B model Curtis controllers in reverse. It is a variable voltage set by the resistance across the pot.
If that's so I wonder if I could use an external supply and generate a voltage through the pot and apply it to the correct terminal, which I also don't know which one it would be.
