neutral throttle revs

[furby]

yamaha 50hp 4 stroke,starts ok everytime revs at tickover once engine is warm are 800rpm (correct as per manual).During the warm up phase (3minutes as per manual)the use of the neutral throttle lever does not cause any increase in revs.The revs are measured by the tacho.Would anybody know why the lever is not increasing revs and what the revs should rise to using the lever during warm up.?Thanks in advance for info.

Often the fast idle lever gives very little response until right at it's full lift. Are you giving it full increase ?

does it cause an increase in revs when beyond the warm up period??

cable disconnected or incorrectly adjusted.

hi Furby
you will deed to remove the engine cover and find the throttle cable lever, work back from there and you will find a clip holding the cable outer, release the clip and there will be an adjustable piece there, if you pull the cable adjuster out of its holder you will be able to turn the adjuster you will need to turn half a dozen times moving it towards the end of the cable, refit and try without starting the engine, look and see if it moves the carb lever, it doesn't need to move far at all.

Carb or EFi?

How old are the remotes? Mine (granted, probably on its 20-ish-th birthday) needed all the nylon bushes replaced.

The throttle response on both levers was markedly improved after that.....

Checking the cable first is probably easier tho'!
