yamaha 704 throttle friction

[pine island fred]

Finally starting to us my F-115, good motor so far. But a bit perplexed. No matter what the power setting the throttle keeps creaping back. Seem to remember an adjustment on the 704 for friction but this has none. Is it internal? <br /> Also there is no trigger for shifting out of neutral which takes some getting use to. Have gone from rev. to fwd. a few time already. Didnt the 704 have a red handle trigger to avoid this? Thank you, fred

no lockout<br /> it does have a detent.<br /> one the older,pre 05, 704 bos's remove the 4 screws holding the trim cover on. remove the cover. on the lower aft end you will see a pencil sized post with a slot. thats the throttle friction adjustment. clockwise makes it tighter.
