1967 Johnson 60hp- stiff throttle

[FAJSAM]

I know it's an old boat and all, but is there anything I can do to make it easier and smoother to move the throttle lever? Are there grease fittings that I should be greasing? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You probably would need to replace the cable(s) and grease the internals of the controller. Cables are only about $20 a piece.<br /><br />Carefull if you dissasemble the controller, I've seen more than one post around here from people that had difficulty gettin them back together and working again.<br /><br />You can disconnect the cable from the motor and make sure all the throttle actuations within the motor move freeley and don't need attention first though.
