Increasing Throttle while in Neutral

[gardnersf]

Hello,

I have a 1981 Evinrude 90. I believe I have binnacle control part number 173646. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to rev it up in Neutral. I have tried pulling the arm out to the side. I dis***embled the controller and it looks like it will not slide out in any case.

OK, never mind. I tried it today and it slid out and allowed me to rev up in Neutral. Something must have been stuck and the penetrating oil I sprayed a week ago did it's work
