Throttle handle removal accomplished

I thought you might find this interesting. Remember my comment saying that I was going to try coca cola for soaking the throttle rod. Well, it worked. I soaked it for about 4 days, and when done, all the rusted areas were shiny bright and clean. Apparently enough had gotten under the handle and rod ...

It appears as though it must screw off since there is a place to put on a wrench, but I need to know exactly which part screws off from which. The compression pin...
