Linda, here is the proceedure to the controls cable adjustments;
Shifter adjustment on jet boat.
Fully pull the throttle lever to the idle position then pull the shifter in reverse position. Ensure reverse gate ear contacts the stopper, on the nozzle assembly. Check on both sides for it to touch the nozzle. Next fully push shifter in forward position. A latching sound should be heard. Try manually pulling reverse gate down. They must be locked by the latching mechanism. If either check fails readjust the cable to meet both conditions.
Throttle cables adjustment.
Fully push throttle levers. Be sure there is no strain in the cable or carburetor cable bracket. Make sure carburetor butterflies are fully open at full throttle position. At this position, throttle stop lever will almost contact carburetor body.(0.4mm or 1/64in.). Im proper cable adjustment will cause strain on cable and/ or damage cable support or throttle lever at carburetor. To adjust, loosen jam nut; turn adjustment nut as necessary. Tighten the jam nut and recheck adjustment. If more adjustment is required than carburetor cable adjustment can provide, adjust cable at throttle/ shifter control. Be sure the cable housing end does not touch the throttle lever cam when moving it.
Unscrew throttle / shifter control from boat. Adjust the adjustments under the throttle controls. Replace when finished. Be sure idle speed screw contacts stopper when throttle lever is fully pulled back at throttle lever control.
After throttle cable adjustment, always proceed with oil injector pump adjustment.
After adjustment verify all adjustment are working properly before running engine.
If you have any questions give me a shout.
