The kill switch is easy enough but now I’ve found another issue. The plate on the port side holding the throttle linkage is broken at the top bolt and the bottom threads must be stripped as the bolt spins around. It’s gotta come out for repairs but it doesn’t seem that straightforward getting it out. The tiller is off and I can pull the throttle shaft with the gear on it out about 3/4′ but that’s it and I don’t see any pins or anything holding it. Is it supposed to slide all the way out? If it doesn’t, I’m stumped as how this plate is supposed to be removed without removing the powerhead.

And now a little prayer. Oh Mercury, ancient Roman god of tricksters and others, what steps must be taken to unlock yours and your cohort Elmer Kiekhaefer’s secrets? 😈
