    Is it possible to convert remote throttle to tiller throttle?

    i replaced our ailing Mfs9.9b2. 3v5 which was 16 yrs old with a tiller throttle fuel injected model....so nice. paul suggested popping in a carb but then it still would need a throttle and gear control if i wanted to use it as a backup motor sans remote.
