Ok, so here's my problem. The last time I used it during the summer, I noticed that my boat was not going full speed when I have the throttle all the way down. Heck, it won't even pick up speed and was going at about 5-10 miles an hour only. So being frustrated, I thought it was the carbs that needed to be rebuilt since I haven't done it for about 5 years now. So I rebuilt all 3 carbs and after installing the carbs, I go to start up the motor and I noticed that the motor revs up to 3500 rpm at idle. So I quickly shut it off as that's not normal. I moved the throttle lever to reverse but it's stuck and won't go in. It goes into forward position fine but won't engage in reverse.
Here are my questions:
1. What's causing my motor to rev up to 3500rpm at idle? I've doubled even tripled check my work on the carbs and there are no air leaks.
2. Does my shifter and throttle cables need adjusting?
3. Why won't my lever go into reverse?
4. If my cables need adjusting, how?
