Hi all,

Haven't posted here in a long time. I have recently gotten back into outboards and am working on Evinrude/Johnson 1-15 hps. I have this 1982 with a frozen throttle cable. I know this is common on these 80s motors. I am stumped on how to get it out and replace it. Any tips? I'm pretty sure these are all the same 4, 6, 7,5, and 8 hp of these models.

See if something other than the cable is the issue. Turn the magneto plate counterclockwise by hand, for example, and see if it turns freely. You might check eBay for a parts manual to help diagnose and disassemble/assemble.
