Hi,
I've inherited a Chrysler 45 (456h8j) and have been reading these forums the past few weeks to solve a few problems. After replacing a fuel pump diaphragm, she fired right up and I was zipping across the lake.
On my next outing, I couldn't even get the boat off the trailer because it would not go into reverse. It would go forward, but i could barely push the throttle it felt like it was binding.
I popped the engine cover an noticed that when trying to move the throttle there were two thick "flanges", for lack of a better term (one on the throttle rod and the other on the transmission bracket), colliding.
So, my question's:
What could have possibly happened to cause this situation? It ran great and I didn't touch it until my next outing.
How do I fix it? Is there a procedure to adjust the cables?
Thanks in advance for any help.
