What’s the best way to adjust the throttle cable? I have a 1989 Baja islander 190 mercruiser 3.0. I noticed while I was doing some things under the hood I would put it in throttle only and rev it up. Put it back in neautral but would still rev at a higher rpm. Not to bad but higher. I would have to manually go to the carb and push on the cable and push it back down. I don’t know if the carb is sticking or If the cable is sticking and not wanting to go all the way back to where it should be. Thank you

remove the nut at the black barrel and add a few turns for more closing pressure
