Re: THROTTLE PROBLEMS

The first few inches fore and aft are when shifting takes place and the rpm should not go up. Full throttle (fwd) with most controls has the lever almost horizontal. A shop manual would help you regarding what's normal.

Re: THROTTLE PROBLEMS

The easiest fix is to get rid of that piece of junk and buy a new one. I am sure any salvage place or your favorite brother-in-law would take that engine. He probably even has a superior Johnson SUPER Sea Horse 60 hp that he would let you have out of the kindness of his heart.<br /><br />(Just make sure you bring the trim controls)<br /><br />Just Kidding of course...<br /><br />Bro
