REbuilding OMC controls for '91 Evinrude 30 w/ Electric start

[SBH2OMan]

Can anyone point me to a good resource for finding parts and schematics for OMC controls?

I have a '91 Avon RIB with a remote console and side-mount OMC controls. The neutral throttle lever is not functioning, and there is a lot of slop in the throttle in general. My guess is that it is due to excessive wear, but before I tear it down I want to make sure I have a schematic and access to parts.

Haven't been able to find anything yet...

Here's a picture of the controls:

Thanks!

There is not much in those except a few bushings. More than likely everything is just loose.

Thanks all! I purchased a factory repair manual on eBay and lo and behold, it has a complete section (including parts schematic) in the back.

Now the question is figuring out whether it is worth the trouble to rebuild. The fast idle arm doesn't do anything (cable doesn't move) and the throttle seems very sticky and only actuates the motor in the last 10 degrees or so of travel...

Has anyone rebuilt these units (they appear relatively common on eBay as used or rebuilt) and if so, any pearls of wisdom to share regarding which parts commonly fail?

I pulled it apart and since I am not familiar with the workings (nor what they look like when functioning properly) it was not immediately apparent to me what might be wrong....

Thanks!
