If the upper rod on your picture doesn't move, your throttle cable is
broken. It may have come loose in the control box. You might check taht
first.

I got a 1995 40hp Force engine and I just changed the impeller. I got it
back together and started the engine. It has better water pump output and
it
goes into forward and reverse gears but it doesn't throttle up when i move
the gear shift forward. Any idea how to adjust the throttle? Here is a
picture of what i have

Thanks for the help, and I know it isn't the best engine, but i got it and
have to try to make the best of it...:-)
