    Gents, this is my first post ever. I am baffled by the adjustment on my RD. I have some other older outboards, but they all have the easier arm advance instead the cables. When I try to set the roller to the mark on the cam there is only a small amount of throttle left and it is not enough to open the carb. Is there a procedure for this on this cable type plate? Did i put the cam back on wrong and made it to where I cant adjust it. Any Ideas?

    I really hate to suggest this, but do you have it in forward gear? Throttle is limited in neutral and reverse
