How do you adjust the tension on a Zero Effort Throttle Control
My port engine throttle lever on my 1992 Merc 200 hp keeps slipping back . I have to keep bumping the throttle up. Where is the tension adjustment. These throttles are new to me.
Thanks Wannabe

Old thread but no adjustment on mercs. Just a ball and spring. You can replace spring apparently.

If you take the thing apart.there is a pocket with a little spring and ball on the side plate. the spring pushes the ball into a curved piece of plastic on the lever. That controls the tension but its not really adjustable per say, but with a little thought you can modify it to do what you want..
