Well I solved the throttle problem. Right under the plug wires in the pic, I had this linkage upside down causing it to bind up and not allow WOT. So now it’s just the won’t turn off situation but I don’t really think it’s the Merc switch because the first few times I started it everything was fine. Just seems it would be odd timing for em to go out about the time I decide to bring the motor back to life. Hopefully just a ground issue or something. It has all new wires on everything with the exception of the harness plugs. Anyway thanks for the ideas. A little here a little there, I’ll get it smoothed out!

It's a jungle out there.
