[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 389933, member: 12995"] The cables are adjustable but that sounds like a lot of slack. You need to pull the motor cover off and move the throttle from the control box to if it's trying to move the throttle or not. It could be something is broken off (possibly the idle stop) or it could be something in the control box itself is amiss. You should be able to adjust it at the motor to take up the slack but maybe yours is not mounted properly to begin with. Pop the engine cover and take a look (post a picture if you think it doesn't look right). [/QUOTE]
