Can anyone help I have a pair of F150's on a protector RIB I am having touble selecting FWD and Reverse on the Port engine. I can adjust the cable at the engine end to select fwd or reverse and it will go into one of those gears fine but when you try to adjust the cable to find a happy medium it iis not happy. I have had the bottom end looked at by two local Yam dealers and they say all is fine.
Having looked at the engine myself today I think the problem may lie with throttle control. I took the cable off the selctor on the engine and with the engine running I can select foward and reverse by hand no problem, I checked with the other engine and both feel the same. I reconnected the cable and watched while my friend engaged fwd and reverse it looks to me like the cable isnt being pushed and pulled enough!
I have started to take the throttles out to see if there are any worn parts inside they look like pretty complicated bits of kit!
Can anybody help with:
The problem Discribed above?
Removing and taking the controls apart?
Removing the Cables from the controls?
I think the Controls are Twin 704's
