Controls...$$$

[Catfishmonkey]

Hello,

I just determined that I might need a new idle throttle cable for my controls for my Evinrude 48hp special. It does not display the full range of motion (2-3 inches), and instead only moves about 0.5 inches when you push the small idle up all the way (when not connected to motor). As a result, cant really start motor; need to push the idle switch manually on motor to do it...cable in bad shape.

My question is this, do I need new controls, or can I just buy that one idle cable to replace the bad one? Got an older Evinrude controls, but not electric start. Could I potentially do a 'transplant' sort of speak?

Thanks,

M

You didn't mention the year of your engine but there should be cables available for your engine, check with your local dealer.
