Just had the lower unit rebuilt and took her out last night. Ran out well, but when I put the throttle down, it would not stay in position, but gradually make it's way back to idle. Is this just a cable adjusment, or a bigger problem? Also when starting in neutral and giving it some gas, it would slip into gear if I pulled back on the throttle down to idle and the motor would stall. Thanks for any ideas!
