Loosen the throttle cable a little bit, that should take care of it not 
closing all the way. Is the throttle retun spring in good condition?

This from when I recently did mine. The throttle rotates CCW, so you need to 
rotate the switch CW to hear the click. This is what I did. First, ensure 
that the throttle is all the way closed. The I had the key on, and moved the 
throttle position switch CCW a little ways, I then moved it back CW until I 
heard a click from the injectors firing. I then rotated the throttle switch 
back CW 1 or 2 deg, and tightened it down. I then checked it by openening 
the throttle, again with the key on. The first click of the injectors 
happens just as you crack the throttle a little. There is supposed to be a 
total of 20 clicks (injectors firing) from full closed to full open.

Sounds familar, mine wont adjust above 850 either.
