[QUOTE="acolic, post: 423593, member: 12118"] Hi Not sure if the test can be done with the engine off but if it can this is what happened. In neutral the lower cable is out about 1.5" and the top cable is entirely in. If I push the throttle forward the lower cable starts moving in (rearward) and stops when the throttle is 1/2 forward. If I continue moving beyond the 1/2 point the upper cable starts moving out (towards the bow) and stops when the throttle is all the way forward. There is no movement near the flywheel as you've pointed out. Make sense? Thanks [/QUOTE]
