55 merc throttle problem

[andrewp]

I have disconnected throttle from carbs and have found that it is from the twist grip into the carb connection. Is there a set of gears or a bearing that has to mesh here. If someone knows the procedure to disassemble to get to the problem or a printout of same would be appreciated.

It is a 55 hp merc seapro and yes they do have this horsepower I believe it is around 1996. Still looking for a breakdown of the tiller handle.
