Hello all, new to this forum. I have a early to mid 80's 15 hp Johnson, lucky me. 
Problem #1
The issue is that the gears on the handle will slip to another cogg. I am seeing a lot of movement of the gears when a twisting force is applied. I have already replaced the upper gear. Is there a rebuld kit for this issue? Or are there bushing to solve this problem.
Problem #2
Going from wide open throttle to idle the motor/linkage isnt returning completly to idle. So I cannot shift, or throttle down to a acceptable speed. Any thoughts. Please be patient, I'm not a outboard geniuss. Or speller either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
