I have this wonderful 65 hp mercury outboard. The main problem is it is 50 years old. Both the throttle and gear shift cables broke where they pass through the transum to the motor. I replaced them with new cables but now the motor, when on the water, will spudder periodically. Not completely understanding the interaction between the two cables has led me to believe I'm not doing something right. There could be other issues causing this. Could someone point me in the direction of diagnosing the cause? I appreciate the help I've received here in the past and hope your advise will help me again. Thanks
