Got this on a 1552 ambush and I can get 40 hit 42/43 a few times. Question is about the handle on the tiller and the throttle cables. The handle on my tiller is pretty hard to turn. Anyone got a decent video or some tips to grease the cables?

I'm confused... so it's the throttle hard to turn? Or is your difficulty actually turning the motor, like to steer the boat?

Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!

"PB Blaster Chain and Cable"
Comes with one of those long red tips.
I'd start with a liberal amount of that down one end of the cable housing and working it in with the throttle.
If that doesnt work you may need to grease the end of the shaft barrel where the tiller handle connects to the motor. (Item 22 on the link below)

I had something similar with my yamaha 40 when it still had the original tiller and not the big tiller. I took a can of Cyclo Break-Away and sprayed just about every moving part I could find within the throttle system. That made a big difference. I also felt some stickiness around the flywheel like BB is talking about. I sprayed all of that down too and it seemed to help.
Thanks fellas. I cleaned and greased the handle, all the links in the handle and the ends of the cables. A lot better now. Will check the flywheel and do the same.

you have a "friction" knob or a lever up under it for the turning tension adjustment
and you should have a knob or screw under the tiller arm (probably right past the throttle grip) that controls the throttle tension
