Quicksilver throttle only button

[rlso]

1986 Stratos fishing boat its been in storage for 4 years. Pumped the fuel out installed new batteries it fired right up. Lucky me! the only problem the throttle only button is hanging up. I wiggled the throttle lever and was able to in gauge higher rpm for start up. It needs some TLC to make it right. I googled the problem and it sent me to this site to a post from jimmbo feb27 2017 with a link for another boater with the same problem. heres the link it would not open for me http://www.boatinfo.no/lib/mercury/manuals/mercury_1965-1989_40-115.html#/314. Can any of you happy boaters give me guidance on this issue? thanks for any info.

Most all of the throttle only buttons are removed by placing the throttle in full foward, then popping out the throttle only button. Once the button is removed there is access to a nut holding the handle on
