I just bought a 96 90HP Johnson and after installing it on the boat, went out for run at the lake.
The motor runs fine, but it does not have a smooth acceleration. It starts slowly and then it jumps into almost full speed. As I push the control arm forward it only seems to engage too far down and it's a bit hard to push down.
The Control Arm ( concelead type ) also cames a little loose, eventhough I tightened the set screw.
And if I turn the prop by hand in the neutral position I hear a click, click, click...
I think I have to adjust the throtle cable to fix all this, but I'm not sure. the cables may be a bit too long for the boat, so not sure if this has an effect on these problems.
Any help?
