[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 349571, member: 3278"] On generic control boxes (Teleflex) there are multiple places to attach the cable ends. I have run across this a few times in the past and if memory serves me correct one of your cables is in the wrong location inside the box. If it ran correctly at one time then obviously disregard this. However......at your engine. The control box must always be adjusted to match the engine, the engine shift lever should never be moved or rotated in the least to hook up to the control cable. Always make your adjustments on the cable and never the engine. Find your "slop center" on the engine shifter (in neutral) and your "slop center" on the cable end and adjust your cable to just slip over the stud in neutral. Same with throttle. Move your linkage to the idle stop and match the cable to it. Adjust it only tight enough to gently bring it back to its stop every time. Not tight against it. [/QUOTE]
