I have a mid 80's 8 hp johnson outboard and there is this little button that is part of the kill button on the end of the steering /control arm that is threaded to screw in and out. Is this a throttle tension thing cause it doesn't seem to work properly to hold the engine speed. If so then one should throttle up to the desired speed then tighten the button, right? If anyone can help

No it for idle only if you strip the threads than your idle will give you issues>?Turn clock wise to increase rpm

It should be a bottom stop for your throttle. The more you tighten it the higher your idle will be.

eric is right. the tension screw is on the side of the tiller handle, not the end.
