    Oh yes, those gears are way out of alignment. The first tooth at one end of the pinion gear connected to the tiller should align with the first groove on the throttle gear. I’d butcher the explanation on how to adjust it, but you need to remove the throttle shaft/rod that connects to the magneto advance arm, and then you can remove both the tiller pinion gear and the throttle gear, and reinstall properly aligned.
