Hey everyone its been a while since I've been on here since my old boat died on me. But now I have a new to me boat. This boat has a 1991 40hp mercury tiller
the boat starts, idles, and runs every time which I love! But I have trouble getting on plane sometimes. Believe the problem is my butterflys on the carbs ain't opening all the way. From all my searching it seems most people are hAving trouble with cable adjustment. I do not believe that's my problem thou. The adjustment bolt doesn't move the throttle stop cluster all the way. I can turn the throttle all the way. And then use my finger and can open the throttle on the carb the rest of the way. I'm not sure what is going on with it. Maybe the wrong bolt? Maybe the throttle stop is bent?
