groove in cam follower?

[merkdawg]

'57 evinrude 7.5. I have a groove in the cam follower from years of use? Will that affect any throttle issues?

You can either replace it, or have it filled and ground clean. That was common on those. The later motors came with a little roller on there, to fix that issue
