I have a 1995 johnson 4hp 2 stoke and I am trying to replace a broken thottle cable.
I have ordered the OEm throttle kit and this kit came with some directions but the instructions were written for someone who has the service manual on this motor. ( which I do not have.)
The included instructions start with "Remove the manual starter housing (done), Steering handle (done )
Flywheel ( not done) ignition plate (not done) Throttle cable ( could be done quick if i cut it) and front lower motor cover 'As described in service manual'".
The fly wheel is my first problem:
I need to lock it down so that I can loosen the center nut. Is there a standard procedeure to do that?
Should I mark the existing position so that the wheel is reinstalled in precise same position?
The old cable is now loose but seems wedged under ther fuel lines in such a way that it can not be extracted whole. I can cut it and pull it out in 2 seconds. Should I ? Will the new throttle cable go through the same run?
Thanks for any help,
I want to get this running soon.
