I have been working on my engine and I think i have it close, I just need some help on the throttle and shifter cable adjustment.
The engine is a Merecury, 1973, 650, 65 hp outboard. Can anyone tell me which cable is the shifter and which is the throttle? The cables sit on top of each other and I adjusted the bottom cable and it gave me increased power but I lost reverse. The bottom cable is on a slider and engages first when moving the control box arm into gear and then once it goes so far, the top cable engages and that is stopped on the top and bottom by stop bolts. Can anyone help me with the adjustment or identifying the cables?
Thanks so much in advance.
