1988 88hp SPL Johnson Throttle cable adjustment

[nastyquedawg]

I recently cleaned my cards and believe that my throttle cable might be out of whack. It seems to have more resistance when pushing the lever to WOT. How does one readjust the throttle cable to release the tension in the throttle lever.

"Most" controls have a knob that controls the resistance on the control box....... and/or your cable may need to be replaced.

If your throttle cable was smooth before you rebuilt the carbs and now the cable has alot of resistance, the cable is binding or the carb linkage rods are in the wrong place or maybe upsidedown.

Did you check what Bob VT suggested ? Disconnect the throttle cable from the mtr and then try it. That may give you a clue as to where the binding is.
