[QUOTE="Redthies, post: 396966, member: 19640"] I just bought this motor, and as the title states, it only revs to about half throttle in forward, but seems to rev out all the way in reverse. It starts first pull from cold, and idles great too. I'm thinking it must be some sort of linkage issue, but I adjusted the throttle stops and idle screw etc with no luck. I've got it on a bare 1436 Jon and with myself (175 lbs), and a friend (150 lbs), 2gallons of fuel and two tall cans and it won't even plane. It's like a 4 hp. Any thoughts or ideas what I should look at next? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
