You can see the lever on the driver side of the motor. My boat had the opposite problem. The lever stayed back and let it start but wouldn't throttle up. I had mine fixed at a boat shop, but I should have just fixed it myself. They just pulled the fly wheel and cleaned and lubed it. Its nylon and gets dirty or can melt a bit if your motor gets hot.
Take off the motor cover and have someone run the throttle back and forth and watch all the linkage.If everything doesn't move right you will have problems. Watch the little linkage right below the fly wheel. It should be all the way back to start and move forward toward the boat as you move the throttle.
