Hello all,
I am new to the board, but have surfed here on occasion and found it very useful and decided I better join in.
I have a problem:
I replaced one of my cracked coils in my 1976 Jonson 6HP outboard. After replacing the coil and puting it back together, I can not hardly pull the starting cord without it moving my throttle handle.....wierd........I did not touch anything that has to do with the throttle that I know of. Every time I go to pull the starting cord, it makes my throttle handle go from the start position to the stop position. Never have experienced this before when replacing a coil.
If I hold the throttle position in start I can get it to run, but then it wants to move itself back to the stop position.
I have looked all through the linkages and everything seems to be in tact and operative.
Has anyone dealt with this issue and know how to resolve it?? I had to walk away from it for a while.
Thanks, Eric
