Bit green to my outboard and not mechanically minded but i have just used my new 3m Honda RIB and new 5HP 4stroke Outboard for the last week in Cornwall and yes i agree its only a 5hp but it was incredibley slow and lacked any power with only me in the rib.
The throtle only moves/rotates about a cm around but when i flushed out outboard with fresh water once i took the engine hood cover off and noticed that when i rotate the throttle arm it moved the part in the engine again only approx 1cm but I could with my hand move this part a good 1-2 inches and really rev the engine. Is my outboard set up wrong or is it simply that i need a bigger engine. If that makes sense to anybody many thanks for any advice
You might well be right about the throttle linkage, but whether or not you are is irrelevant because you've got a new engine with a warranty.
Don't go doing something dumb and messing with it and losing the warranty-get the dealer to sort it!
