Throttle help 1976 20hp

I have a '76 20hp outboard, and I cant get any rpm in forward or reverse unless I lift the manual lever on the shifter. ( its a remote throttle and gear selector near the center steering) I think the linkage is out of adjustment on the motor itself. Does any one have a pic or description of how you adjust the linkage so I can get full throttle when the shift lever is all the way forward? Thanks!
 
Re: Throttle help

I think you need to takes the box apart to look for broken pieces.----------------------You can disconnect controls at the motor to see if you can get full throttle by manually operating it there.-----Work carefully and check things one at a time.

Thanks for the reply, What box? The one where the key start is or on the engine itself? Is there a .PDF file available that shows what its supposed to look like? If someone has the page from the manual that shows the carb linkage it would really help!
Thanks!
