I have a 1979 Evinrude 25 h.p. when running from half throttle to full throttle, the adjustment rod will just almost spin clockwise until it starves the engine to a complete stop. I have taken the engine to our local dealer and he states the adjustment rod is fine when he puts it in his test tank. He admits the rod turns very easily. It has hardly any resistance. I have owned the engine since it was almost new. The dealer says the compression and everything is perfect. I am tired of taking it to our local dealer. I can remove the engine cowling, turn the adjustmemt knob to the left, crank the engine and it will run fine as long as, I hold the knob, or it will run approximately 1/3 throttle with the coke pulled on full. Not too much fun on a cold dark morning going duck hunting!! I will greatly appreciate any help in solving this problem. Tomorrow is the last day of ducking hunting and I need the motor to operate correctly to pick up all my decoys. Thanks in advance for your help!
