Morse Throttle Control Adjustment?

The thread on Throttle Controls brought up a question for me….

So I’ve got two helm stations, one on the flybridge and one in the main cabin. When the engine is at idle, both throttle levers (upper and lower) are pulled back to the stop. From the lower station, if I advance the starboard engine off idle and then pull it back to the stop, the engine returns to idle. From the flybridge, if I advance the throttle off idle and then pull it back to the stop, the engine’s RPMs remain higher than idle. When I go to the lower station, the throttle lever is not pulled all the way back to the stop. When I pull it back from the lower station, idle returns to normal.

Obviously, I need to be able to get to idle from the flybridge. I’m sure there is some kind of an adjustment that needs to be made to sync up the throttle levers but I’m not sure where to start.

The controls are Morse brand and they feed into a Glendinning engine synchronizer.

Any help would be appreciated.
