I am interested in knowing the method to adjust the throttle linkage/control cables.
There is a bit of play in the twist throttle and I wish to know how to tighten it up.
Any instructional information, videos or links to any reference material would be appreciated.

What is the complete model number of your engine? The marine industry does not use years to desgnate motors any more, it is all by model number now.

Brilliant, thanks greatly..
The adjustment instructions you sent took away 100% of the free travel in the linkage..much better throttle feel!!
Now I know I'm being fussy, but there is about 5' of play in the tiller grip also..causes a click-clack when the twist is turned lightly back and forth.
I suspect I'm SOL on this one..but if there is an adjustment up in the grip also you'd be my hero!!
