Tried posting but it did not go thru. I have a 1976 merc 40 hp 402 and my throttle/gear lever does not activate the throttle until the last 10% of the throw when it kicks the spark advance lever back to the neautral position. I have had the control box open to replace the ignition switch. Did I lose something or not get something back in the right position? I had it to the marine mechanic but they don't know much about this age of engine and couldnot help me. Can any one here help?
Thanks Chris

I would suspect some thing in the controller isn't right, I used to own one of those and I dont remember it like that.
