[QUOTE="Boat2fast, post: 384145, member: 13358"] I agree that you cant change over to the helix throttle. You would have to remove the whole powerhead and change out the lower cover(pan)to the newer style. Then the newer style tiller will adapt. You would need the new tower-shaft and all the associated parts from the donor motor. Pappy's advice is far more practical. If the parts have been run dry and forced over periods of time; the gear and shaft may need replacing. The mating gear in the pan could also be worn down. These parts together are over $100 at the dealer. When removing the lower towershaft gear in the pan, be careful of the retaining pin. To remove it, gently pry it up using two small screw drivers together working off the inside surface of the gear. If you can even find this little plastic pin, it's over $20. Careful with yours. Use the OMC type 'A' lube or equivalent. Triple-Guard grease is too stiff. [/QUOTE]
