Hello to all,
I'm having an issue with my 50hp VRO that has been changed to manual mix. I can't get the motor to start by key switch, which is new and worked a couple of months ago, only by jumping it off. But, when it starts up it won't stay running at idle. I took it off my pontoon and put it on my 18' aluminum. I was wondering if I might have moved the throttle adjustment. In the picture, does the cable supposed to be lined up with those arrows on the throttle arm thing? Throttle plate.jpg

In the other picture is the throttle stop screw I think. Can I adlust that to get it back to those arrows? Throttlestopscrew.jpg

Happy Thanks Giving to All !!!
Alright, now I got the motor running at Idle now but this is the new issue. I have to jump it off at the starter with the key in the on position and the kill switch plug from the magneto unplugged. I have to choke it out to stop the motor. Any ideas why this happening?
