Evinrude Control Box/shift/throttle cables

[NLboat00]

Hello everyone, I have an Evinrude power pilot control box that I purchased two weeks ago. I took all the shift and throttle cables off and ordered new cables for it, but now I don't know which one goes where hehe, dumb I know.... Can someone please tell me which one goes where. The one that moves on the level that said Lift/warm? And the one that goes with shifter. And if someone can tell me the correct adjustment for them. Its a 1978 115 hp Evinrude. Thanks so much!

the throttle cable goes to the one that moves with the fast idle lever will be the top cable at the eng. If this does not help let me know I have that same eng. I can post some pics if needed

i usually order the same length cables, install them in the control, then move the handle, and put a piece of tape on the throttle cable.

Installing control cables.

1. set controls in neutral and at idle.

2. manually make sure motor is in neutral and at idle.

3. on the motor end of the cable, is a trunion nut (adjustment nut) there is a retainer, on
the motor for the trunion nut remove the clip.

4. without moving anything on the motor, adjust the trunion nut (turning nut) so that
The nut sits in the retainer, and will connect to the motor.

5. connect the cable to the motor, reinstall the retainer clip.

Note: you adjust the cable to the motor, not the motor to the cable.

Ok, thanks so much everyone for replying. I did all that, but now the motor is acting wierd. Its making a a noise, like spitting noise, and sometime when i put it in gear it would cut out. And when i do get it up to a good speed, it kinna stall and go. Any ideas?
