Hello Fine People:
My motor throttle has always jammed up when twisting, what happens is the pretty chrome throttle position label sort of twists and jams under the end of the throttle handle. OK, so I removed the handle, and pretty stainless indicator plate. I am at a loss as to how it was originally connected to the tiller handle, it was loose on the tiller arm after I removed the throttle handle. Was it glued? it did it just fit on there by spring tension? It was taped for many years, but I am working on the engine, and tape is not the right way to hold it on there.
Any knowledge of how it was originally was installed, or retained would be appreciated.
I am attaching a picture of the indicator and tiller shaft.
Thank you, Rob
