Hi there,
I have an older (74-76, can't remember) 9.9 Johnson. Yesterday as I was at about 2/3-3/4 throttle, it got stuck there, I had to kill it as it is stuck at a high enough throttle where I can't shift from forward to neutral. Now looking at it, the timing plate is rotated too far counter-clockwise so when I'm at idle on the tiller, the motor is actually at about 3/4 throttle. The arrow on the timing plate is way too far to the right (if looking from the front) of the roller connected to the carb. I know now I have to adjust this to get the arrow to line up with the roller while at idle, but I'm not sure how.
How do I adjust the plate?
Thanks
