Joined Club Bennington today and thought I'd ask for some help. I am sure the topic has been covered just not sure how to find it. Throttle on my new 250 V Max backs iff when over 2,000RPM. When pulling tubers, etc I have to hold the throttle. I know where the screw is that is supposed to tighten the throttle and have done so. But, it loosens again very quickly. I have a call into Yamaha technician but thought I'd ask if any of you have had same situation and know the solution. Thanks

That sounds like it may be good idea. Thanks

I had to turn mine in WAY more turns than I thought I would need before it would hold. As long as you don't feel any massive resistance, keep turning the screw in.

I have the opposite problem as it is difficult to fine tune throttle setting unless I anchor my outer palm against the playpen to dampen movement. Thought about reducing the resistance, but maybe should just give more time to wear-in? I have about 30hrs on the clock.

Just back it out 1/4 or 1/2 turn at a time and keep track of your turns.

No, the throttle should stay where you put it ! Screw in 1/4 or 1/2 turns at a time.

Cool. What do I need a hex key?

I did this a couple of years ago and all you need is a flat blade screwdriver assuming you have a Yamaha 704 binnacle. I would think most Yamaha's would be the same.

Yep that's the Screw on the left.

Is the adjustment screw in the dark hole on the left or the obvious slotted screw near the center?

It's the obvious slotted screw near the center. Adjusted mine last week and needed a good full turn clockwise
to get the throttle to stay in the same spot.

My 704 was a hex key, open plastic door on side of binnacle. Could be because mine is DEC control, who knows. But your dealer should have given you a manual, give it a read through.
