Hello all! New to the forum. And boat motors in general. I recently traded up for a 14 ft v hull with what I believe to be a late 70 ' s model evinrude 9.9 motor. It has no number plate on it but all of the research I've done shows me that that's what I have. The motor runs great. I just cleaned the carb yesterday and it fires up first try. The accelerator is a little sticky and doesn't flow as smooth as I want but I think maybe it just needs some lube and cleaned up. Anyways, to my problem. After researching I've found that the cam roller needs to be sitting at the hash on the cam plate when the throttle is just opening. U fortunately for ,one it's not the case. The cam plate is actually sitting (in idle) to the far left. Not even touching the cam roller. When I engage the throttle as far as the tiller handle will let it, it only goes to about half way up the plate. Just before where the plate widens. I'm wondering if there is a way to adjust this without screwing up the timing or having the throttle at constant wide open. Not sure if I'm using the right terminology here so please, go easy on me! Thanks in advance!
