I had this problem on my C34 where I'd push the throttle forward and then it would slip backwards. It turned out it was a lose nut on the engine where the throttle attached. At first I tightened it too much and the throttle wouldn't move at all, but with a little experimentation I got it right. I don't have my manual with me, but the on-line manual and images are here:

Sorry that I don't have any better pictures.

Russ: If the problem is in the pedestal the fix is pretty easy and involves the removal of the compass - you will see a place to tighten the lever on the cable. Hardest part is lining up the compass again to get the long screws back in - mark it before you remove it.
Thanks for the advise I thought it might be in the pedestal I checked the engine linkage and it was fine .I wont mind tearing the pedestal apart now that I know that's where my problem may lie Russell
