So what’s the secret to getting a smooth consistent throttle response with a throttle cable?
This is a first for me, setting up a cable style throttle linkage on an OB and so far lm not tickled pink with the outcome. It seems sloppy although I get full throttle and can shut the carb all the way. It also doesn’t move when I turn the engine left or right. My problem is... when I take my finger off the trigger from either full throttle or when I put the trigger forward to kill the engine, the carb barrel never goes back to the same place. If I’m full throttle it may go back to 3/4’s, 1/2 or less then 1/2 but never in the same place twice.
Any tips?
Thanks
Chris
