Throttle cable adjustment

[Zook4184]

Hello everyone I have a 1989 88spl evinrude outboard and I have a omc remote control I can not figure out how to get this cable adjusted rite I cannot get the warm up throttle to give me any rpm change I have adjusted this thing all different directions I have taken apart the controller and really don’t see anything broken or worn but I’m not really sure what I’m looking for I don’t know how to determine if cable is stretched any help would be appreciated thanks

When you shift into gear does the normal throttle work?

If your throttle is working, watch this video. His terms are incorrect but he points to common problems.

Yes but it seems like I have a lot of stroke in the shifter
