Reply To: 1956 Johnson 30hp Throttle Slippage

Thanks for the replies!!  Yes – it is the throttle in the front control box (yes original from 1956.. – also recently refurbished…)  It feels like there should be a tension screw somewhere between the control box and the motor that keeps the throttle where I put it.  If I make the adjustment at the motor the drift does not happen.  Today I will actually disconnect the throttle cable to confirm that.  The doohickey that BILLW mentioned above could possibly serve the purpose I was thinking about.

I have never opened the control box to see if there is anything in there I can adjust…
