I should have looked at the Edson web site first, at http://www.edsonmarine.com/faq/#q4 I find:
Q4: My throttle doesn't hold when I push it full forward - what can I do? A4: Some Engine have a very tight spring on the throttle lever. Depending on the Engine Control Model, you may be able to tighten the Throttle Friction Adjuster. Older controls may not have this adjuster, but a "horseshoe" cable-clamp can easily and inexpensively be clamped around the outer jacket of the engine control cable to add the proper cable resistance. So, next question, has anyone performed the "horseshoe" cable-clamp fix and have any advice? John C27 #5956 Austin, TX Jeffery L. Sheler wrote: > I have the same set-up and same problem with my '89.
