    you could always try some heat on the shift rod near the bushing to see what happens or... freeze it (rod) or the bushing. keyboarb spray cans from the Dollar stores held upside down will freeze it quickly just as good as more expensive freeze sprays. just ventilate while doing it one...

    1975 Evinrude 9.9hp won't shift out of reverse

    Odd it should turn ccw to unscrew from the shifter . Me up the creek... I would wrap the shift rod to protect it & clamp a visegrip then try firm upward persuasion .. not drastic but others will suggest something for sure. . try turning the drive shaft while you try to shift.

    Questions about purchasing a 1982 75 HP 3 cylinder Johnson

    The seller may simply be alerting you based on his knowledge of the last time the impeller was replaced. The important thing is to check it mechanically, beat up or TLC'd engine ? Check compression, check LU oil (..yet super clean oil may just indicate a recent refill to hide a water...

    thanks for the concern. yes I am aware of H release and can't argue virtue but I really don't thing H would build up to the extent of igniting in open air . H Caution is usually recommended when jumping a battery due to the proximity of sparks and some H but I think cleaning carb parts in...
