There is some resistance, how far does the control arm suppose to move
foirward? I am not sure it is moving far enough forward. I will try some
lubrication and try working it a little. I am very new to boating and the
boat has been sitting in the weather, so maybe it is just froze.
Also, someone told me of an overheating horn. I have a newer control arm
assembly (1995) and I wanted to change it or at least check it to make sure
it works. Any idea where it is located and how to check it.
Thanks
Tom

Thanks for the help, and I know it isn't the best engine, but i got it

have to try to make the best of it...:-)

Does your throttle control move forward with very little resistance?
If so, chances are the cable has broken or become disconnected in the
box.

I assume you are in gear while trying to open the throttle?
