Neutral Throttle Button Problem

[devisetek]

I have a 1984 Bass Tracker with the 50 HP Mercury and a Quicksilver Throttle (no trim built in) and the throttle button to put it in neutral for cold starts will not work. The button will not push in at all. I have not taken it apart yet, but was wondering as to what the problem may be. <br /><br />Also, the boat seems to have trouble idling in the water. It idles fine out of the water, I can hook it up to the hose, let it run for about 1 minuite, and it will idle fine, but in the water, it just wants to cut off... Any ideas?

Re: Neutral Throttle Button Problem

84 model , may have the "pusher pin" worn in the throttle. (five pieces all together) <br />The control is not a easy thing to put back together..ie..springs and steel balls ( detent ball)..s<br />If you are mechanical ..go for it ..if not look for a replacement ..<br />as to idling .when in the water two things are different ..temperature, and exhaust back pressure ..<br />set your idle speed in the water..
