No I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure the problem is with the throttle cable where it attaches to the motor and I’ve tried adjusting it but it still doesn’t work right. I don’t see anything in the manual about how to properly adjust this connection. When I have the cable disconnected from the motor there seems to be plenty extension and contraction but when I hook it back up and use the control lever to fully accelerate it doesn’t push the throttle mechanism on the motor far enough to get full acceleration. Any further suggestions?
