Throttle Adjustment I Think?

Stillrunning · #1 06-29-2007, 01:41 PM

I have a 1994 Johnson 150 and when it is in neutral I cannot start the motor as the safty switch must think it is in gear. I have to bump the throttle foward some then it will start just fine. Is this an adjustment on the motor or is it a kill switch in the throttle box mounted on the CC which is causing the problem.

If I'm not mistaken the problem is in the control box.

OMC put the switch in the control box. There should be 2 yellow wires coming out of it for the neutral safety switch.

Does this switch have an adjustment ?

Don't believe so, SKOOLZ will know more I'm sure.

Not winning just thought it would be a little safer if others could start the boat. I know just to give it a tap forward and it will start but it seems that friends try to work it into position and have a hard time. Its for my safty and not theirs.

I love it!!
I have a friend that can't start the boat!!
I have never told him why, But I say she only starts for me! Turn the key and there she goes, he hates it! LOL
