[QUOTE="smokeyjim44, post: 389856, member: 18618"] I have a 16' Bass Tracker with a '96 40 hp Force motor that runs just fine. Problem is that the throttle cable has a lot of slack-----it takes a lot of movement of the lever to get any reaction from the motor. It takes about 60 degrees or so of movement before there is any speedup from the motor. From there on, everything operates normally. The control box is a mercury, no telling how old--probably mid 90s I'd guess. Any ideas as to what I need to look for?? [-o< Thanks. [/QUOTE]
