I'm not sure what you mean by secondary throttle, but if you feel the speed is too great, then dragging the brake will help control that. The idea behind doing this effectively, is to gear it correctly. A direct drive to the axle would be too fast, and may kill the starter prematurely, but if you dropped this to a 2:1 drive, then you allow the starter to run full speed and reduce the axle speed.
