[QUOTE="elcapitanmas, post: 278179, member: 7969"] So my new boat is all put back together and I can fire and run the motor at idle. All thats left to do is adjust and connect the throttle cable and shift cable. Shift cable seems to be okay, or at least i can adjust it so its connected correctly. I cannot for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong when trying to adjust the throttle. When I get everything connected and hit the throttle lever the arm just pops out. When I look at it, it looks to me like the black plastic elbow needs to sit as close to the throttle arm as possible but I can't figure out how to adjust it so it sits where it needs to be and not pop out. Any help is greatly appreciated. As soon as I figure it out, the boat is ready for the water. first picture is of the unit together, to me the black plastic elbow is sitting too far below the throttle pin that it pushes up on, regardless, the second picture shows what happens when I hit the throttle lever the silver arm pops out of the black elbow.
