Posted this question in Mercury Forum which may have been the wrong place.
Hello,
I recently had my motor rebuilt due to a damaged piston and broken rings. I shipped motor to PA to do the work and after remounting it, had problems with the throttle linkage. Appears that they did not adjust the throttle link ( threaded bar with two plastic ball joints ) at all as it was completely loose. After playing with this I can get WOT in reverse but can not get linkage to move throttle bar going forward. How can I get this adjusted right ? They rebuilt and synch'ed carbs so I don't want to mess up the timing or synchronization.
Can't wait to try out my "new" motor.
Thanks.
