throttle response-

[115 evinrude]

I have a 1997 evinrude 115 H.P. and my controls are not responding well in low rpms. The cable seems to not respond to the handle and I usually end up have the engine respond to high or low to what I do with the controls on low rpm. Engine runs fine so its either a cable or linkage adjustment on the engine. Any suggestions or is the cable just worn out?

Sounds like at binding cable to me, probably need to replace it, you may check near the engine for a lubrication point, if there is one then move the throttle lever to pull the linkage closest to the cable housing and then lube and work it a little to see what happens, my thought is replace the cable.

try adjusting the little adjustment wheel under the motor hood just a bit see if this helps tighten and try ect. if it doesnt a new cable might be in order
