[QUOTE="samuelh1987, post: 450821, member: 21854"] When working on the 1967 Evinrude 18 I just acquired I heard a loud clang and lost throttle response with the tiller handle. I got looking around and saw a threaded bushing laying on the floor. Naturally, I screwed the threaded end back into the throttle assembly and was able to use the tiller once again. This only lasted for a few twists and it fell out again. I screwed it in again and watched it when using the tiller and its unscrewing itself as you advance and retard the throttle. Temporarily, I've attached a piece of aluminum to hold the bushing in place. Am I missing something with how this should all go together? Is it okay to use something like loctite on the threads?
