    Honda 5 HP 2007 -- Revs high in neutral with low throttle, low revs in gear

    The high rev problem seems to have abated (for now) either due to Seafoam or a spritz of WD40 on the linkage. Still need to investigate the linkage to see if it is preventing full power in forward. For now, thank you to all. That high rev was unnerving and distracting given how important...

    Honda 5 HP 2007 -- Revs high in neutral with low throttle, low revs in gear

    It seemed to do better today in neutral; maybe the Seafoam is helping (or covering up a problem while it works through). Stayed 'tuned.'

    Honda 5 HP 2007 -- Revs high in neutral with low throttle, low revs in gear

    I have a 2007 HP 5 Honda. New to me. Sometimes (often) when it is in neutral, even if the twist throttle is low, the engine will rev very high and stay there. I would also say it does not rev high in gear; it seems kind of slow in fact. Engine is on sailboat on mooring, so I am hopeful for...

    Revs high in neutral, low in gear

    I know this is an old thread, but I have a problem that is a cousin to this. I have a 2007 HP 5 HP. New to me. Sometimes (often) when it is in neutral, even if the throttle is low, the engine will rev very high and stay there. I would also say it does not rev anywhere near that high in gear...
