Hello,
I have a 1997 Johnson 15 hp motor and last weekend I went out but could not get the throttle to adjust from the tiller handle, like the cable was stuck inside the sleeve. When I opened the motor housing and rotated the throttle lever by hand, the cable seemed to slide OK - a little tight but did not appear to bind. Can someone lead me in the right direction? Do I need to replace the cable or is it just out of adjustment? I am pretty new at this, but have been successful working on other parts of the engine - carburetor, fuel pump, water pump impeller replacement, etc.
Thanks!
