ok,fair enough,,so,your gonna have to pull the throttle up and move the end of the cables so it has the largest travel.plus carb end of the cable can be screwed in and out to further adjust.

Default Well I’m an idiot.

Guys first I want to thank you for trying to help me best you could. Secondly I want to apologize for being a dummy… I have gotten a little ahead of myself and excited about this boat and getting it going and forget to check the obvious. That being said the cables had come undone at the helm. I reset them and all is fine now lol. I apologize.
