    Shifter "bind/click" when shifting into reverse on 2007 B3

    I have an issue that is kinda hard to explain, but maybe it will ring a bell to someone who works on these all the time... I have a 2007 B3 that runs and shifts good. My issue is, when shifting into reverse, I get a small bind type feeling when getting past the actual shift into rev just...

    1997 GP760 Wave Runner scored pistons and cylinders

    Help from an experienced 2 stroke mechanic. Hello. I'm an automotive master tech. I need someone's help as I do not deal with 2 stroke issues very often at all! I had this jet ski for years. No issues. This weekend it quit. No restart. Cranked like not much compression which was true. 35psi in...

    Pinion gear timing to driven gears in B3 upper housing

    Thanks dubs and get it. question though... I have the alignment marks perfect with the hash marks with the plus and minus opposite each other. But when I install the pinion gear, i tried 3 times and i can't get them perfect. I can get one perfect and the other looks like maybe it's off 1...

    Pinion gear timing to driven gears in B3 upper housing

    I have a 2000 Bravo manual I found online. It seems the same as my 2007 as far as the build. I'm just looking for an answer to the question I posted. Per the book, they install the pinion before the shift cam I guess so you can see the index plus and minus easier. I had no reason to take...

    Pinion gear timing to driven gears in B3 upper housing

    Thanks all for the pointers. I finally got a chance to get back to this. Do I have to remove the shift cam to see the marks properly from the back? Is it ok plus or minus a tooth or that critical to get spot on? It's hard to tell with the shift cam blocking your straight on view....

    Pinion gear timing to driven gears in B3 upper housing

    Hello. I pulled my driveshaft out and replaced the pinion seal and yoke. In reading my Seloc manual which covers so many models, I am confused so I want to ask... Is the pinion timed at all with the 2 driven gears? Is there a special way to install it? I don't think so but I wanted to ask...

    Bravo 3 Engine Alignment

    I have a question for those that do this all the time. I pulled my outdrive on a boat I just purchased. I ran it a few times with no worry or concern, but since it's winter, I want to go through everything. Anyhow, the gimble was just a little rough, so I replaced it. Prior to replacing it...

    350 Mag Bravo 3 with poor power steering assist

    I get that and saw that when I had the spool valve but keeping the flats vertical seems all but impossible and it steers fine with them at a 90 degree from being vertical. That's the part I don't get!

    350 Mag Bravo 3 with poor power steering assist

    I just want to thank everyone. A new cable fixed it. Very hard to believe....because with the cable unhooked back at the gimble, it was able to be turned with one finger. I assumed it had to be fine. It must bind up at the helm rack unit with the slightest of load on it. I pulled the p/s...

    350 Mag Bravo 3 with poor power steering assist

    Thanks. I have several people telling me its the cable but it is so free when unhooked from the transom. 1 finger easy. I don't see how it can be the cable? Do you know a pressure tester set up for checking the pressure, like from harbor freight or something? When I help assist the spool...

    350 Mag Bravo 3 with poor power steering assist

    With engine off, how easy should the valve push back and forth. Mine takes 2 hands and some effort.....
