My father has a 1985, 70 hp Evinrude outboard and when we were on a fishing trip on the third day as we were coming back in a full throttle I brought the throttle down rather quickly at the no wake markers. When the engine went into neutral the engine revved up to full throttle. From then on every time you start it up it does it.

Welcome 1!!<br /><br />Sounds like the linkage is somehow hung. Look at that to start with. If everything works OK by hand, pop the air silencer cover off and post back.
