I ran my 85HP L drive for the

I ran my 85HP L drive for the first time this year the other day. I noticed when I was coming back into neutral it was hard to shift. When I got it in neutral the engine revved really high. I turned off the engine and restarted it and the revs where normal.

Any help you be appreciated.

Grab the throttle cable end and see if it will move without moving the control box.

I also posted this on the Bayliner owner forum and this is the respone I got

"I had a similar problem on a 85 hp force outboard. The timing advance linkage which is located under the flywheel was rusted causing the timing to remain advanced. It would reset itself when the motor was stopped & re-started"

Could it possibly be this??
