Default throttle/shift cable adjustment

I noticed my throttle/shift cable has a busted shroud right where it goes into the front of the engine. It looks rusty in that area too. The thing shifts ok but was in need of adjustment since it was idling at 1400 rpms. I pulled the pin to detach it from the engine and adjusted the plastic end connector to be tighter, thus letting the lever go back further which brought the RPMs down to the 600 - 700 range as it should be. Also sprayed a little PB on the busted shroud.

2004 Yamaha 150 carbed 2 stroker

Did I adjust it correctly?

I guess its time for a new shift cable in the near future.

We'll do as soon as I get this seastar helm installed! I have to cut a 4" hole this evening for the helm. Existing hole is only about 3" and just won't do.

P.S. I bought a new impeller today...been meaning to do it anyway. I'm sure the one in it still works but impeller is nothing to skimp on when it comes to maintenance! Also bought a brand new racor, with clear sight bowl while at Surfside. If its peace of mind I'm after, I ought to have plenty of it after spending $1200!!! Can't wait to hit the water either this evening or 1st thing tomorrow morning.....will report!

keep an eye on that cable, sounds liek the outer cable housing may be pulling out from the crimped end, the cable adjustment will keep moving
