Hello all. I need help. I have a "94 era Johnson outboard (9.9) with a throttle control issue. The throttle will not leave the neutral position when the red handle is squeezed. I have taken things apart so that i can see both sides of the control box. There is a round "ball" like part that must be depressed for the throttle to leave neutral. From the back, i can push that in and move the throttle. On the front side of the throttle I have taken the throttle arm apart, and removed he neutral button. I understand there is a hidden allen screw that can be accessed when the throttle is in the reverse position.
Issue 1 - The throttle level will not travel far enough into reverse to clear the channel needed to remove the allen screw. What would stop it from moving that far? I tried disconnecting the throttle cables and it still wont go far enough.
Issue 2 - Once i get in there, what should i expect to find? What would stop that ball like part from moving when the handle is squeezed?
My boat shop can't help my until mid May... MID MAY!!!!! Not acceptable. Any help is greatly appreciated!
