1983 Evinrude 15hp Tiller, elbow area, teeth broken. Part?

[Panfishangler1]

Hey team,

Everytime I repair something on this motor, something else always breaks, or becomes noticed and in need of repair. Now it seems that the teeth on a part connected to the tiller handle have corroded away, thus making it unable to gas up the throttle. Here are some pictures, I'm just wondering whats the best way/part to go about replacing this old one. I saw that for the whole piece its close to $50 dollars, but I was hoping someone would share some knowledge on a less costly alternative.

Thank you for taking the time to help,

Andrew

You could try ebay for used parts. Have you got a service manual. That might be the answer to perpetual problems. LOL. Here is a great link for your engine and lots of information is there for your pleasure. Best of luck. Rick.

You can also go to the top secret files at the begining of this forum and look for salvage yards.
