[Rhodes22-list] Yamaha 9.9 ideas needed.

[Brad Haslett]

Hey Rik,

This is what Alice had to say a few days ago,

"My throttle will not go all the way in neutral, either.  Only half way and
I thought that was normal as that's all it did in forward .... until a few
days ago when it went all the way in forward!!????"

Stuck choke or a stuck butterfly valve?

Brad
