I have a 86 Merc 35 hp tiller. The twist handle for the throttle rattles a lot. There is about 1/4 inch of play when you turn the handle before it increases or decreases speed. I popped the cap off the end and tightend the what I would call friction screw. End result was no rattle but could barely twist the handle so I set it back to the way it was. Not a problem except in neutral idleing without gripping handle. Just a loud annoying metal on metal rattle. I am thinking maybe a new twist grip handle. Any ideas guys?<br />thanks<br />86
