Hi all, I have a 1996 90 HP Honda. Boat starts great?sometimes! I bought it last fall, and to start it, I would pull the entire throttle laterally away from the housing (disengaging the prop), and it would crank right up. This year, boy do I have to work at it. I have to wiggle the handle, push it right to the edge before it goes into forward, say a little prayer and hope it cranks. When it is in the exact right position, engine starts beautifully. It seems like it needs adjustment?is there a switch in the throttle somewhere that needs adjusting, or is there one on the engine, or both? I mainly need to know where to look, and cant seem to find anything in particular to help me get started. I dont want to take the throttle apart if I dont need to. Thank you!
