I have a 1995 Mercruiser 3.0 Alpha1. The throttle has a slight grind like rough metal on metal when I rotate it forward and back. I can hear it too. I have taken this assembly out and looked at it but have not totally disassembled it yet.
I was wondering if a blast of graphite powder, a soaking of Fluid Film, or a dousing of Silicone lube would be an ok first attempt. I didnt notice a locking screw to adjust the drag so I assume there isnt one for that year.
I have looked for a diagram to totally tear this thing apart but have not found one yet.
Anyone experienced with similar grinding issue and a fix for that year assembly?
Thank you all for your great help!
