    98 evinrude 150 not opening throttle completely

    Hey have a few questions. I recently bought a 98 tr18 with a carbed evinrude 150. My problem is the engine only turns about 4400 rpms. After looking at the engine I can see the throttles not opening up all the way. What do the high and low settings adjust on the throttle. I also have a hot foot that I’ll have to see if it is adjusted correctly. (The pictures shown are with the hot foot all the way down)

    Carb roller is missing the clear sleeve to start with. Look at the stickies for the 60* roller adjustment.
