How do you remove a Mercontrol Throttle unit on a 1974 Fiberform?

I'm trying to remove the throttle unit on my 1974 Fiberform so I can replace the cable but I can't seem to figure out how to get the handle off. I removed the screw underneath but it seems here is still something holding it on. Any suggestions or diagrams??

You remove the entire unit from its mount. Could be anywhere between 2 and 4 screws holding it on. The screws are at each corner of the body and may be bolted thru with a nut behind.

Once the unit is removed, you remove any of the four remaining screws at the corners and the unit separates in two halves. Use care when separating the two halves, there are a number of cams/linkages inside.

Awesome thanks! I actually figured out that I needed to unscrew the black button in front.
