To make a long story short; I ran aground and used the engine to get free. During the un-grounding process the engine never overheated (freshwater cooling), but I did run it at a high rpm. Here is my problem, when I throttled back, the engine rpm stayed at a high cruise speed. The throttle linkage is ok and not stuck, I can even increase the engine rpm, but when I pull throttle back to the idle position, the engine stays in high rpm. Good thing I’m on a mooring? The rpm is sufficiently high that I did not put the transmission in neutral for fear of over revving the engine. Otherwise the engine runs great. The fuel filter was changed at the beginning of the season, so I don’t there is junk in the carburetor. I did not have time to take the carburetor apart. Any ideas of what I should look for?
