I've read a lot on this site about the roller and clear plastic sleeve but I never see any solutions to it not being there. I understand it messes up the timing.<br /><br />I've tried to replace the throttle and sleeve but the local evinrude dealer can't find one for a 1985, they say it starts in 1987 with the sleeve. Does anybody have a part number? If not does it affect anything to just move back the assembly so that it's touching the throttle linkage without the sleeve? Do I really need it? The one for a 1987 is too long.<br />thanks
