Mercury throttle stiff???

[walleyeaddict]

Replaced a tilt and kill switch. upon putting everything back together the throttle handle seems "stiff" it goes both ways but with a little effort. This is on a mercury side mount flush control...very similar to the 3000 series...any ideas??

Did you kink the cable? Tensioner too tight?

As stated above, did you put everything back together as before ? Sure of it ? A tight bend or kink in cable will increase friction.
