    Only 3/4 throttle

    I have a 1989 90 hp Johnson v4. I had the timing set at a local marina. Problem is that my throttle linkage or carburetor is not getting to full throttle when I push the controls all the way forward. I am only getting about 4900 rpm's at wot. I tried to adjust the cam follower assembly to...
