Quick and dirty for less than $10. Then, it would be a matter of using a potentiometer in place of a resistor to allow a variable output. The only thing I would be concerned about is throttle "drift" if the pot gets worn/dirty over time. I still have the schematic somewhere if you want it (just have to find it).

Do you have a circuit diagram for this? I seams like a fun thing to do if I was bored sometime
Thanks
