I've searched the forums here and elsewhere, but can't find anything helpful.
I bought a mid-late 80s Johnson 90 hp that came with controls but no keys. I took it apart and replaced the ignition. Now that it's back together, I realized I'm having issues getting the controls to work. I've disassembled and reassembled multiple times. Often, it works smoothly for several cycles, then something goes wrong, and I'm stuck in neutral. With the controls separated, I seem to always be able to operate the lever (shift linkage only). So the problem appears to be related to the throttle side. I don't have signal at my house, but will get pics and post tomorrow. Any suggestions between now and then are welcome.
