Dremel or a hacksaw would've made clearance with little effort.

Light Blue should oil pressure.

Tan with Blue stripe is alarm.

Brown with White stripe (may look black) should be oil temp (Merc harness - trim indicator wire).

Yellow and Red stripe is neutral safety (it breaks the connection to the solenoid).

My TRS boat is wired this way.

Notta… The accelerator pump arm was literally laying flush under the throttle cable bracket. Allowing no action whatsoever.

If I would’ve had a pic of underside it would’ve clearly showed.

I am having a hard time figuring out whats happening. A "throttle plate" is the round things with 2 screws on them that open and close the venturis - so I'm guessing that you are talking about the cable mount brackets?

correct the accelerator pump arm is flush up against the bottom of bracket. I just ordered the other brackets.

Can you go with longer studs on the throttle side, fasted the carburetor with nuts/washers under the throttle bracket, the fit the bracket and fasten within another nut and washer?

Never mind. That won't work either. Your idle screw is in the way.
