I assume you're referring to a 28 HP Evinrude. Because of the design of the throttle control, it cannot over-rev, unless, a part is missing, damaged or broken. The coordination between throttle and shifting is predetermined. If the shift does not engage, the motor will race,(prop does not spin)..

Lower the Idle screw on the carburator linkage, first check the red knob on the front of the motor by the air intake box, make sure its in the right position, this will affect idle on the 28 and 48 spl models

if it is idleing to high you need to check the carb gaskets or any vacum lines that may be present. you can check the carb gaskets by spraying starting flood around it. you can also bo the same for the vacum it will cause the motor to rev up higher than it already is

Change the prop, that is when the motor revs to high during operation. There are many different type of props available, speak to your supplier, or set the idling screw.
