loosen the outside one to loosen the two nuts from grabbing the tb bracket.
Once you do that spin the end nut closer to the end to tighten it. DO NOT over tighten the cable as it may snap when you press on the pedal.
Once you have it tighted properly.....about a 1/4 of movement up/down.
tighten the first nut back to the braket to hold it in place.

or in simpler terms. take 2 wrenchs, place one on each nut, loosen left nut, tighten right nut until prefered throttle cable tightness is achieved, then tighten left nut back on bracket. hold the right nut with your wrench while doing this, make sure they are both tight on the bracket. now that your have successfully adjusted your nuts you can take a break
