Ok so i just got done with this swap, had to repair the ignition now the engine runs great. Almost ready to go in the water except for this one little bump in the road.
The original yamaha control box, has the separate idle lever and shift lever. On the 70hp engine that I just removed, the control box would pull the throttle cable in on the engine to throttle the engine up, and it would push it back out to return it to idle.
The problem is on the new engine its opposite, i need the throttle cable to push out on the engine to throttle it up, and pull back in to idle. Normally this is no big deal, on most control boxes there are 2 setting to reverse whether it pushes or pulls. I have the control box apart and when I try to adjust it to a setting so that when the idle lever is pulled up, the cable gets pushed in towards the engine, I can't put the control box back together because the part where the lever attachs isn't directly centered above the main pivot for the shifter.
This is very frustrating does anyone know how to make this adjustment? Or possibly where I can find a diagram on this control box?
