Mercruiser 3.0lx throttle adjustment? little too much travel...

[brodykmb]

I did search but could not find any info on how to adjust my throttle. In both forward and reverse, I get about half way to full before I get any rpms.... is there an easy diagram out there or tutorial link I could trouble someone for to help me adjust this thing? Thank you.

not sure what you mean, the handel will move 3-4 inches to engauge a gear, then throttle from that point

?????? thats how its supposed to work.you move the handel to the detent, F or R to engauge the gear, and then the throttle portion takes over.

i get into gear and the travel to get the engine to respond just seems to be too far. It's also very touchy when i do get a response. Just seems like there should be a slight adjustment I can make to it. Almost like there is slack in there or something.
