Hi all,
1989 32-3 with Universal M25 XP. Today the throttle wouldn't return to idle, making it nearly impossible to shift the trans. The throttle bracket appears to have holes for a throttle return spring, and I was able to rig some zip ties and elastic to pull the throttle linkage back and the speed control plate back to the idle stop screw. It got us home. Looking at the Westerbeke parts list I don't see a spring for the throttle linkage, just for the governor. Is there a throttle return spring? Do the governor springs pull the throttle back to idle? Something I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated.
