How do I adjust the throttle linkage on a 1995 merc. sprtjet?

Question

I have a 1995 regal rush with a 90 sportjet. When I put it in gear and apply throttle nothing happens until the lever is almost at 90dgrees then it finally starts to engage the carb but by then the cable has ran out. I can see that the cable is moving but the plate that engages the carb isn't even close to engaging until the throttle is in full position. I am just not sure how to remove the nylon joints so I can adjust the first part of the link to make make the adjustment so the plate rests on the carb. Any help would be great thanks

Answer 1

First step is to make sure that the outer sleeve of the cable is anchored securely at each end.
