Johnson/Evinrude throttle control question

[2strokepower]

Hi newbie here!

Did not know how to search for this question?

I have a 86 200 Johnson runs great.
Heres the problem, when you first put it in gear its fine but you have to advace the throttle pretty far before it start going.
I mean you push the throttle forward the engine rpms do not move till you
have push the throttle more than a 1/3 of the way.
I have look the way the throttle cable moves under the engine cover,and tried adjusting the wheel on the cable but no reel difference.
Anyone got any ideas.

Thanks.

Re: Johnson/Evinrude throttle control question

on some types of controls( like the ones I have) the first HALF of the throttle throw is just for engaging the gear.. the rest is for throttle
