Hello, i have acquired a 1986 Evinrude 40 VRO ( E40ELCDE) and am trying to get it running well. My challenge is that I cannot find a guide or procedure for adjusting the throttle linkage cable and the connecting idle and carb adjustments. Currently, the idle lever on the front controls does not go down far enough to allow the control to slip into forward gear (safety mechanism prevents being in gear when the idle lever is up). But if I adjust the cable length so that the arm can go down then the idle is way too low and wont stay running to put into gear.
I don't mind paying a reasonable fee for the correct guide or book, if that exists. Of if someone knows of a youtube video or written instructions for this motor. The ones I have found do not have the same mechanisms on the side of the motor.
thanks
