Power Pilot problems

[Les0803]

I have a 1976 Johnson with poser pilot controller. It idles just fine & the warm up leaver will rev the motor but as soon as I try to go forward or back the leaver has to go almost completely down before it will move.

Correct.----In order to shift the " fast idle " lever must be down.----How did the motor run for you last season?----What trouble shooting has been done?

I’ve taken the controller apart to see if I could see any worn parts. The warm up leaver automatically goes down when shifted into gear. But after that I have to push the lever all the way down & even then it just runs at idle speed. I can put it back in neutral pull the warm up lever up & the engine will rev up

It ran pretty good last year but there was a dead spot in the lever that I’d either have to pull it back or go forward. I put a new ignition switch in last year & im afraid I may not have gotten it back to get her correctly

Like racer just said, that's the way it's designed.

so what exactly is the concern here ??

 

[racerone]

Have an assistant turn the propeller while operating control box.----Put control box in forward and go to full throttle.-----Does timer base rotate?--Do both carburetors go to full throttle ?----Does control lever go near horizontal ?-----What trouble shooting ( if any ) has been done on the motor ?----How did it run for you last season ?
