Great video, straight to the point. I have a lot of play in my throttle controller before it gets into gear and very low idle rpm. Going to check the cables.

Hey bud, i have a 1976 evinrude 70 hp 2 stroke, the motor runs great once warmed up ....but, once warmed up with in neatral with the warm up lever down it is too high of an idle to put in forward or reverse and if i dont get it down lower its going to tear my gear box up cuz its pretty violent that high, i had the marina install new cables also not to long ago maybe 3 months ago and im gonna try what u can recomend in my driveway today

I have a question. I'm not getting even close to top RPM. I've dropped prop pitch with no luck. Can I adjust the the cable to increase RPM? They are older cables but still good. Motor is a 2020 Merc 40. I'm only getting 4200rpm at max

Thanks! Helped a lot, I have an old Johnson and while it would go into idle while the shifter was in neutral initially, it now still thinks it’s in gear while in neutral, does this mean it needs to be tightened?

My idle rmp 800 is constant. Between 800 and 1200 the cable will not stay were l let off it. It may go back to 800 or advance to 1200 rpms. After 1200 it stays where it's left.
Any ideas thank you

On my black max. Im having an issue. It wont idle. I can throttle up and it runs good. But ehen i pull it back into neutrel it stalls. And spits gas out of a tube xoing back into the breather box. Or ehatever its called. I can leave fhe throttle forward and it will run.
