1996 FORCE 75hp: "throttle control cable" adj messing with idle and reverse acceleration/thrust ??
When I try to adjust the "throttle control cable" on our 1996 FORCE 75hp it will correct one and mess up the other of idle speed or reverse acceleration/thrust ability. I'm sure it's an easy fix, just do not know how to do it. If I adjust the "throttle control cable" one way I can get the idle speed down to what i think is correct about 8-9k RPMs. But when I do that I lose REVERSE acceleration/thrusting power. When I adjust the "throttle control cable" the other way the idle speed jumps up to ~12-14k RPMs and I gain REVERSE acceleration/thrusting power. What is it that I'm missing here? THANKS!!
