First step is to disconnect the cable from the motor, then make sure the linkages and stuff is correct on the motor itself. This includes syncing the cruise throttle rod. If you don’t know how to do that, get back with us. When everything is correct, full throttle position will be right. NOW connect the cable and see if it will take the throttle to wide-open position. If it won’t, repair whatever is wrong with the remote control/cable. Always adjust the control to fit the motor, never adjust the motor to fit the control
