But it just seemed like the wrong screw, so I made the bold move to tap those holes with 1/4-20 and Im glad I did. The cover holds down like it was meant to and 1/4-20 is a standard ubiquitous bolt.

Well, excellent choice to tap those holes. I've done that, like 10 times. LOL. Makes it so easy. I use 1/4-20 Phillips head screws. A long screwdriver reaches those pesky front screws easily.
As to the speed issue, remove the tunnel cover and adjust the length of the rod that runs from the speed control column to the hydro's cam plate. Might want to check the hydro's trunnion while you are at it. A common wear point that often needs attention and repair to get consistent hydro speed control and it's possible something has been jury-rigged there as well. The tech library has lots of stuff on trunnion repairs.
Good luck!
