Motor doesn't idle down

 Howdy all

I need help before Friday thanx i intend to take the family for a ski biscuit on Friday. But at the moment my motor doesn't seem too  idle down enough after going from forward to neutral. It idles fine when I start the motor but after putting it in gear then back to neutral it doesn't idle down enough it's still reving a bit. So I need someone with a bit of tech knowledge to come and maybe do a bit of adjusting to it. All boat shops in Rockingham are booked out until April. So I would be most grateful if some knows how to do this for me at short notice I live in warnbro and it's a 90 hp 2 stroke  evinrude thank you

 Sure as eggs, the cable is rusted inside.

 

When you pull, it can be overcome, but pushing does not have the same mechanical advantage.

 

Lube and or clean cable inside.
