I agree that the end of the throttle cable housing is way too close to the linkage (cable stop). As far as I'm concerned it should not be protruding more than a 1/4” below the cable housing clamp that is attached to the carb. Here’s a pic of my setup and yes I could shorten my cable housing just a tad, but I have lots of travel, the way it's set.
