You need to disconnect the shift rod. Remove the screw. It' at center under the carbs.

Welcome aboard iboats Hector.<br /><br />I believe ezeke just solved your problem. Heres' a little more advice we always like to give out.....get a manual. Will pay for its' self many times over. You can get the generics here at iboats, look at the bottom of the page, or for reprints of the original OEM service manual, check the link below.<br /><br />Good Luck.<br /><br /> http://ww3.kencook.com/evinrudejohnsonmanuals/
