Currently the 96 Merc135 w/ Quicksilver Classic Commander Controls starts and runs at idle, moving the controller handle will put the motor in gear both backwards and forward but the throttles remains unchanged (idle) in both forward and reverse. When I look back at the motor the shifting cable is clearly working but the throttle is not moving at all back at the motor.

The two things I am trying to narrow down are checking the throttle cable for binding or breakage or some sort of controller issue that is locking out or overriding the throttle. Someone mentioned to me that there could be an issue with the throttle only button?

I have been told it is easiest to test the throttle cable at the motor first to see if it is broken so that is next on my list but I can?t find anything talking about the possible issues in the controller. When I feel the cables coming out of the back of the controller and move the handle they seem to be moving as normal but like I mention no movement at the motor for the throttle cable. Does anyone know if there is something in the controller that could cause that or anyone ever had this problem? It is operating like a gear shift only controller.

Throttle cable was busted new cables are on but having issues with getting arm on control and the lock out to work correctly.
