[QUOTE="kstrayhorn, post: 372998, member: 15815"] Maybe take the handle and throttle controls apart and clean them out and lube them? I did this last night and the spiral grooves in the handle really needed it. They were both packed with a fine, oily sludge kind of like what you find builds up on a chainsaw. I scraped that all out and soaked the whole broken down assembly in a lubricant equivalent to an industrial WD-40 before reassembling. I need to get some marine grease to lube the throttle cable itself as well. Other than that, I think there's one spring (#66? https://www.boats.net/parts/search/BRP/EVINRUDE/1989/E20CRCEM/CYLINDER%20%26%20CRANKCASE/parts.html) in the throttle that you might check is in good condition and working properly. However, I wouldn't mess with it or attempt to switch it out with a lighter spring without a more professional opinion. I haven't been able to test out yet how the cleaning I did affected anything, but I figure it had to make some difference. [/QUOTE]
