15 HP Johnson 1998 4 cycle

"I have a 15HP Johnson 4 strok

"I have a 15HP Johnson 4 stroke that has a remote throttle and shift controls. My problem was that when installed the new cables I did not rig it properly and I cannot get the higher RPM in Forward gear. As I move the shift down (forward) the speed will increase slightly and if I go all the way the engine will either die down or slow to the lowest RPM. I tried adjusting, today, the upper (throttle) cable by turning the trunnion nut in and out to see if it will make the difference but I caused another problem. The engine will not start even when I returned trunnion nut to its original position. It will only start if I choke it but in very high RPM for a second or two. I am very puzzled and perhaps you guys can help.
Thanks

"JUST A THOUGHT TURN YOUR CABL

"JUST A THOUGHT TURN YOUR CABLES AROUND I THINK THEY ARE REVERSED
THE THROW IS STAGGERED I BELEIVE, I COULD BE WRONG
DISCONNECT BOTH CABLES WATCH THEM WHEN THEY MOVE
THE FIRST ONE TO MOVE IS SHIFTER
THE THROTTLE WILL HAVE THE LONGEST THROW
