Message: <blockquote data-quote="kentuckybassman" data-source="post: 50690" data-attributes="member: 13">I went to the lake Sat. and and my motor ran great as usual but then out of no where,it started idling rough and then it would die.It would run out fine at higher rpms but not at an idle.Then I go to load it on the trailer and and when I give it throttle to get up on the trailer where I needed it,the throttle stuck wide open.I brought it home looked at it and the linkage looks ok externally but I figured out you have to push in the linkage with your fingers(working throttle manually) and it won't hang up but it will stick if you don't push it in.Here's the big question............does the idling and the throttle sticking go together or is this just a coincedence?This is a 50 horse motor btw and it's a 86 model.This is the first trouble I have ever had out of this motor but it's fall which means there are fish to catch and I got a broken down boat #-o ....................any ideas?   Thanks</blockquote>
