    Mercury 250 xs no top speed

    Hey guys looking for some advice. Had a tournament yesterday and engine would not reach top speed. Almost like the hot foot is not getting it to wot. I did have full wells and 3/4 tank of gas on a hot day but normal top speed is around 74 and I was only getting around 61 at 5000 rpm. I had a friend depress the hot foot and I took a picture that I’ll try to attach of the roller on the arm. I’m asking if this is a wot position or is it short of that. Not sure if it’s a cable issue or something bigger. Thanks guys. It’s a mercury 250 Xs serial number 2b526566 on a Phoenix 721 proxp

    Looks like it was the stop screw on the hot foot. Thanks again
