I've looked around the Edson pedestal and can't find anything that
looks like a cable friction adjustment.

Too much maintenance. Who lubricated the cable? Who lubricated and
cleaned the throttle control?! Too much maintenance....

Should I squirt some salt water into it?


Perhaps the mechanic also re-led the cable more fairly. When we got ours
repowered, they looped most of the shut-off cable and tie-wrapped it.
REALLY increased drag. When I undid that, friction disappeared.

If you introduce a loop, or tighten one slightly, you might get just
enough friction.
