THROTTLE ONLY BUTTON STUCK!!

I pushed in the throttle only button to start up the motor and she was running smooth and fine idling. Then I brought the handle back to Neutral and expected the Throttle only button to disengage so that I could put her in gear (which is what normally happens).<br /><br />However, to my dismay, the throttle only button stayed engaged and will not "pop" out. My engine therefore will not come out of neutral. Anyone see anything like this before? I am hoping it is just something that is sticking at the front end of the throttle controls. <br /><br />Thanks for any help.

The same thing happened to my controller. It was a Morse SL-1. I removed the throttle lever and found the problem to be little spring that got stuck. Once I straightened things out, it worked fine.

The control is a Quicksilver Commander 3000.<br /><br />It is a 1998 Bayliner with a 120HP Force.<br /><br />Any help would be appreciated with the stuck "THROTTLE ONLY BUTTON" question.
